You will find that Troy is a friendly town with beautiful homes, outstanding schools, many churches and a vibrant business community. We are a rapidly growing community, and we estimate our current population to be approximately 7,200. New houses are being built on the outskirts of Troy, and so brand-new homes are available, or you can even buy a plot of land and build your own dream home here. Home prices are exceptional for this area; a brand-new 2,500 square foot home sells for around $200,000, while older, established homes in the town sell for less. The City of Troy also has the privilege of being near a popular Missouri State Park - Cuivre River State Park is located less then 3 miles east of Troy on Highway 47 and has a lot of attractions for everyone to enjoy. This park encompasses 6,393 acres of hills, creeks, woods and grasslands. The park as 38 miles of trails and over 18 miles of the trails are open to horseback riding. Troy is home to two golf courses. Woods Fort Country Club is an 18 hole facility with a clubhouse of 28,000 square feet. The clubhouse has a pro golf shop and is used for wedding, anniversary and special event receptions. Royal Oaks Golf Club is an 18 hole public facility on an 187 acre tract of beautiful grounds. The Lincoln County Youth Fair is held every July in Troy and is a showcase of events and entertainment. County fair winners compete in the Missouri State Fair, and have won their fair share of trophies and ribbons! Troy has a long and rich history. The town was begun in 1819 and has long been the Lincoln County seat and the center of business activity for the area. In 1994, they celebrated their Dosquicentenial (175th anniversary) with a look back through our history and the wonderful events that have happened in the past. But that only gave them the opportunity to then look to the future of this fine town. Why not join with this wonderful town as they look with excitement for the future of Troy and Lincoln County, as they continue to "go and grow."
