Stet, Missouri

Unincorporated community in Missouri

Stet is an unincorporated community on the Ray/Carroll County line and part of the Kansas City metropolitan area.[1] It is located approximately fourteen miles northwest of Carrollton at the intersection of Missouri Supplemental Routes K and JJ.[2]

## History

[edit]

A post office called Stet was established in 1890, and remained in operation until 1973.[3] That same year, the rural route was consolidated with Norborne but the building stayed open as a contract office until 2011. The origin of the name "Stet" is obscure.[4] The meaning of Stet in Latin is "let it stand."
