The population was 185 at the 2010 census.<ref name="Census 2010">{{cite web| url=https://www.census.gov/| title=Race, Hispanic or Latino, Age, and Housing Occupancy: 2010 Census Redistricting Data (Public Law 94-171) Summary File (QT-PL), Mokane city, Missouri| publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]| access-date=October 28, 2011| archive-date=December 27, 1996| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19961227012639/http://www.census.gov/| url-status=live}}</ref> It is part of the [[Jefferson City, Missouri|Jefferson City]] [[Jefferson City, Missouri Metropolitan Area|Metropolitan Statistical Area]].
==History==
The settlement was first named '''Smith's Landing''', after Thomas Smith, who settled there around 1818, and is said to be the second- or third-oldest town in Callaway County.<ref>{{Cite book|title=History of Northeast Missouri|publisher=Chicago|year=1913}}</ref>
The settlement took on the name '''Saint Aubert''' around the time a post office was built there in 1849. Official Callaway County maps of 1876 show St. Aubert, which was also the name of its township area. The town was still referred to as Saint Aubert when Livingston's ''History of Northeast Missouri'' went to press in 1883 or 1884.
