Cameron, Missouri
Founded in 1855 and incorporated in 1867, Cameron has had a long history of hardy and hardworking people. Placed as a stop along the Hannibal-Saint Joseph rail route, Cameron has since maintained its foothold as a crossroads town. With Interstate 35 and U.S. Route 36 crossing, it’s become a stopping point for countless travellers each year. In addition to serving passenger vehicles along the highway, Cameron is centrally located between a variety of river and rail hubs and perfectly set up to service trucking traffic through the area. It truly is the Crossroads of the Nation.
Cameron extends into three counties: Clinton, Caldwell, and Dekalb. (Earley Business Park itself is located in Clinton county.)
