The source behind the name
USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
A community in southwestern Gallatin Township near the north bank of the Missouri River.
It was laid out soon after the completion of the Hannibal and Saint Joseph Railroad in 1867. Other names for the community have been North Missouri Junction, Minnaville, and Mindville (1891 map). In 1888, James Stephens, owner of some real estate next to the town platted an addition, and the town was sometimes called Jimtown. The source of the name is unknown; apparently it comes from the feminine Christian name Minna or Mina.
