Ladero was an unincorporated community in southern Wayne County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] The community is on Otter Creek approximately one mile west of US Route 67 and the St. Francis River.[2]
Ladero had its start when the railroad was extended to that point.[3] It is unknown why the name "Ladero" was applied to this community.[3]
