History
The exact founding date of St Aubert Township is still to be determined by detailed local historical records, but it can be broadly estimated from historical publications. The township shows as extant on the 1876 official map of Callaway County, and its largest town (formerly called Smith's Landing, and now called Mokane) took on the name Saint Aubert around 1849, which may or may not be relevant to the formation of the township from what was the southern sector of Fulton Township (now East Fulton Township) immediately prior to its formation, and briefly part of Cote Sans Dessein Township during early 1821, near the time of Missouri statehood.
