West Liberty is an extinct town in section 27 of southern Sherman Township in Putnam County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1][2]
West Liberty was platted in 1855 as "Liberty", but as there was already another Liberty, Missouri the name was soon prefixed "West" in order to avoid repetition.[3] A post office was established at West Liberty in 1855, and remained in operation until 1908.[4] A post office in Delpha in section 1 of eastern Sherman Township[2] established in 1891 also closed in 1908.[5] The St. John post office also closed in 1908.
