The population was 171 at the 2010 census. HistoryMendon was laid out in 1871 by Christopher Shupe.[3] However, the area had previously had some homes, and businesses were in operation in the area several years prior to the town plat actually being filed. Among the earliest was a general store built around 1865 by Mr. Bostich and Mr. Eastman.[4] With the coming of the Chicago, Santa Fe and California Railroad in the 1880s, the citizens of Mendon were faced with a monumental choice. The rail line was projected to pass by, over a mile away. Thus when the railroad tracks were laid in 1887 and 1888, a new Mendon was created at the current site, and the former location was mostly abandoned.[5] By 1899 the community contained over twenty stores, a school, a bank, and two hotels.[5] A newspaper, the Mendon Citizen, was first published in 1886.[4] The estimated population in the late 1890s was 350 residents.[5] Mendon todayAlthough the Santa Fe railroad still passes through regularly, little remains of Mendon's business community. Education for the town and surrounding rural area is provided by Northwestern High School.[6] The school's athletic and academic teams compete in Missouri Class 1, the smallest of all classifications. Mendon's proximity to the Swan Lake National Wildlife Refuge has proven a source of income for the community, with business catering to waterfowl hunters who come to the region.
