Modena is an unincorporated community in southwestern Mercer County, Missouri, United States.[1] It is located approximately eight miles southeast of Princeton on Missouri Supplemental Route A.
Modena was originally called Madisonville, and it was platted under the latter name in 1856.[2] A post office called Modena was established in 1858, and remained in operation until 1971.[3] The present name most likely is a transfer from Mòdena, Italy.[2]
