Lake Mykee Town was a village in Callaway County, Missouri, United States whose government was dissolved and land area annexed into Holts Summit, Missouri. ^[6] Because of this, Lake Mykee no longer exists and the former village is now referred to as Holts Summit. The population was 350 at the 2010 census. ^[7] It is part of the Jefferson City Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.25 square miles (0.65 km²), of which, 0.19 square miles (0.49 km²) of it is land and 0.06 square miles (0.16 km²) is water. ^[1]

Lake Mykee was developed by the Hasselman family on the site of their original farm. "Mykee" is an acronym for the names of their two sons.

The development of Lake Mykee resulted in the relocation of the expansion of Highway 54 east of the lake and dam in the 1970s from the route of Old Highway 54 to the current route in order to provide four lanes without cutting off the subdivision entrance and to avoid the lake.
