Aquilla is an unincorporated communityinStoddard County, in the U.S. stateofMissouri.[1]

History

[edit]

A post office called Aquilla was established in 1892, and remained in operation until 1908.[2] Some say the name Aquilla is Latin meaning "eagle", while others believe Aquilla is named after a character in the Bible.[3]

In 1925, Aquilla had 45 inhabitants.[4] In 2017, a man made lake was constructed next to Bo Geary Circle. There is also one farmer’s market, Shady Oak’s, that opened in the area around the same time.
