La Grange is a city in Lewis County, Missouri, United States. The population was 825 at the 2020 census.[4] Since the 1960 census, the population has been dwindling.
The town was founded in 1816 by John Walter Basye and named after his daughter, Louisiana Basye.[4] Other notable early residents were Samuel Caldwell and Joel Shaw, both of whom purchased land from Basye in 1818. All three properties became the original town plat and comprised mainly riverfront properties. Many of the town's residents trace their ancestry to these town pioneers.

Marion City —- In April, 1836, a town was laid out on the river bank about six miles above Hannibal, in Marion County, and called Marion City. Within a year it had a population of 300 people, contained thirty houses, two large steam sawmills, and was important as a river shipping point. Dikes were built to prevent overflow by the Mississippi River. In 1844 high water washed the town out of existence and little remains to mark the place where the prosperous village once stood.
