Editing Buckner, Missouri (section)

==History==
Buckner was established in 1875.  In its inception Buckner was a railroad depot town for the [[Missouri Pacific Railroad]].  Where Buckner derives its name from is a point of contention; the town is either named from former US Senator [[Alexander Buckner]] (1830-1833) who served on the States Constitutional Convention in 1820, or named after Real Estate operator Simon Buckner.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_RfAuAAAAYAAJ | title=How Missouri Counties, Towns and Streams Were Named | publisher=The State Historical Society of Missouri | author=Eaton, David Wolfe | year=1916 | pages=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_RfAuAAAAYAAJ/page/n74 177]}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xcxWsmxRzVEC&pg=PA28 | title=Missouri Roadsides: The Traveler's Companion | publisher=University of Missouri Press | author=Earngey, Bill | year=1995 | pages=28| isbn=9780826210210 }}</ref> Yet another claim as namesake is Thomas W.
