Dittmer, Missouri
Dittmer is an unincorporated community in western Jefferson County, Missouri, United States.[1] It is located about 14 miles northwest of Hillsboro on Route 30. This is shown on an early railroad map published in 1891 as "Dittmer's Store."
A post office called Dittmer's Store was established in 1870, and the name was changed to Dittmer in 1899.[2] William Dittmer, an early postmaster, gave the community his last name.[3][4]
The settlement is home to the Vianney Renewal Center, a treatment center for Catholic clergy with sexual or other disorders.[5]
