Palermo, one of the early river front towns of Doniphan county, is located in Marion township 8 miles southeast of Troy, the county seat, and about 3 miles from Wathena, from which place it receives mail by rural route. The population in 1910 was 279. Being on the Missouri river and at the mouth of Walnut creek, Palermo was an important point before the railroads were built.
