Last updated

Ginlet is an unincorporated community in Boone County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1]

History

A post office called Ginlet was established in 1903, and remained in operation until 1907. [2] The community was said to be as small as a gimlet, hence the name (a postal error accounts for the error in spelling, which was never corrected). [3]
