Nodaway, Missouri is a former town in Andrew County, Missouri near the confluence of the Nodaway River and Missouri River

Lewis and Clark camped by the town on Nodaway Island on July 8, 1804 and took note of the river.

The explorers recommended the same spot for the winter headquarters for the next St. Louis to mouth of Columbia expedition (in 1811) led by Wilson Price Hunt for fur trader John Jacob Astor[1] called the Astor Expedition. Members of that party included British naturalist Thomas Nuttall.
