About Macks Creek, MO

A post office called Macks Creek has been in operation since 1872. The community takes its name from a nearby creek of the same name, which most likely was named after the local Mack or Hack family. For years, Macks Creek had one of the most infamous speed traps in the nation, with a strictly enforced 45-MPH speed limit along US 54, which currently has a 65-MPH speed limit on either side of town. However, in 1995, this practice ended when the state of Missouri passed a law prohibiting cities and towns from collecting more than 45% of their total revenue from speeding tickets. Macks Creek reportedly had been collecting approximately 85% of its revenue from speeding tickets.
