Brief
History:
Buchanan County is
located in the U.S. state of
Missouri. Its county seat is St.
Joseph. When originally formed in 1838,
the county was named Roberts County,
after settler Hiram Roberts. It was
renamed in 1839 for James Buchanan, then a
U.S. Senator and later President of
the United States. The county was formed
from land annexed to Missouri, as were
five
other counties. Buchanan County is
included in the St. Joseph, Missouri
Metropolitan Statistical Area.
