Florida, Missouri
Sam Clemens was born in Florida, MO in November of 1835 when the population of the village was exactly 100. His family had moved there the previous May or June with the hope that a railway line would be extended from St. Joseph and that the Salt River would be made navigable to the Mississippi. Neither happened. The family moved to Hannibal, 35 miles to the northeast, in 1839.
