"The 2010 Census pegged the south-central Missouri town of Plato, located in Texas County, as the official center of the U.S. population distribution.

"But two researchers from Michigan's Grand Valley State University say the distinction really belongs to Tebbetts, about 120 miles north of Plato. Tebbetts is an unincorporated Missouri River town of fewer than 80 residents near the Katy Trail State Park." ~ St. Louis Post-Dispatch, printed from ASSOCIATED PRESS, by Amanda St. Amand, Oct 2, 2012
