2 Ways to Read The Maze Runner Books in Order by James Dashner

You’ve just finished watching The Maze Runner movies and now you want to read The Maze Runner books in order. Or, you’re a huge fan of sci-fi young adult books like Hunger Games, so this will be your next read.

Whatever your reason for reading The Maze Runner , you’ve come to the right place.

While The Maze Runner became a blockbuster hit with its film trilogy adaptation, the material is limited. But in the book series, we get more books from the mind of James Dashner and can experience more of this world.

Before we get into The Maze Runner books in order, let’s take a closer look at the series.

What is The Maze Runner About?

The Maze Runner is a dystopian sci-fi novel series for young adults.

It follows the story of a teenager, Thomas, and other boys who need to find their way out of the Glade, a mysterious open arena surrounded by massive walls, by way of an always-changing, deadly Maze.

But, they soon discover a terrifying truth and fight to survive in a devastated world governed by these scientists called the WICKED.

It has an intriguing plot and is full of action, but it has violent deaths and can be a little dark for very young readers.

The Maze Runner series contains three main books, two prequels, and other novellas by James Dashner. So for you not to get lost in the Maze, here is how to read The Maze Runner series in order.

How to Read The Maze Runner Books in Order

There are two ways to read The Maze Runner series, either in publication order or chronological order. The best way to read The Maze Runner book series is in its publishing order, and I’ll explain to you why in the next section.

#1 The Maze Runner Books in Order of Publication

There are two good reasons for you to read The Maze Runner books in order of publication: To not get confused and to avoid spoilers.

James Dashner had a game plan for writing the book series and published them in this order. When you read the prequels before the first three books, you will have many questions in your head, and it will be confusing.

What’s more, when you read it in this order, you’re following Thomas’s journey, you’re figuring things out with him, and that’s really thrilling.

Here’s The Maze Runner series in order of publication:

The Maze Runner Series

  • The Maze Runner (2009)
  • The Scorch Trials (2010)
  • Thomas’s First Memory of the Flare (2011) (Short Story)
  • The Death Cure (2011)
  • The Kill Order (2012) (First Prequel)
  • The Fever Code (2016) (Second Prequel)
  • Crank Palace (2020) (Novella)

The Maze Cutter Series

  • The Maze Cutter (2022)
  • The Godhead Complex (2023)

#2 The Maze Runner Books in Chronological Order

Though the best way to read The Maze Runner series is by publication, it’s still up to you if you like to read it chronologically.

I guess what’s cool about reading it in chronological order is that you will have a bigger picture of what’s happening in the story, and you know details that the characters don’t know yet. Also, you’ll have a different perspective on the actions and developments of the characters.

But, the downside is the suspense and mystery are lost, making it a less enjoyable read. Reading The Maze Runner books in order of chronology would only be recommended as a reread for someone who is already familiar with the world.

Here’s how to read The Maze Runner books in chronological order:

  • The Kill Order (First Prequel)
  • The Fever Code (Second Prequel)
  • The Maze Runner
  • The Scorch Trials
  • The Death Cure
  • Crank Palace (Novella)
  • The Maze Cutter
  • The Godhead Complex

Do You Need to Read The Maze Runner Prequels?

No, you don’t. To put it bluntly. But if you’d like to learn more about the world of The Maze Runner and Thomas, reading the prequels (Kill Order & Fever Code) would be a great benefit for you.

As previously mentioned, unless you’re already quite familiar with the series, the prequels aren’t a great place to start your The Maze Runner reading journey. That’s because they were written after James Dashner wrote The Maze Runner trilogy. Therefore, they may inherently spoil a few things from the original series; as well, they were not written as an entry point to the series like The Maze Runner.

So, if you’ve already read the original series and are eager to know more, I would highly recommend reading the prequels. These two novels dig deeper into the history of Dashner’s world and how he set the stage for The Maze Runner.

The first prequel rewinds all the way back to the apocalyptic events that took place, while the second prequel reveals the events that transpired before The Maze Runner and more about our main character Thomas.

Do You Need to Read the Short Story and Novella?

Again, there’s a short answer and a long answer here. If you’re content to read the main three books before moving onto a new world and characters, then you don’t have to read either the short story or novella. However, if you, like me, need to know all there is available about a world once you fall in love with it, reading the short story and novella will only enhance your appreciation for the world James Dashner created.

Like with the prequels, Crank Palace should be read after you read the main trilogy, which is why it is placed last in both chronological and publication order lists. If you’re really eager to read this novella, you could read it before the prequels, but The Fever Code does contain some character-building that is relevant to Crank Palace. Therefore, it is our recommendation that you read all the books in publication order, so you have all the information as the author intended.

If you’re still unsure about whether to read it or not, the novella is slim at around half the size of the prequels and main novels. This doesn’t make it such a large undertaking to read. It also offers a new perspective to the series as it is from the point of view of Newt and takes place during the latter events of The Death Cure.

Finally, in regards to the short story, this is even less of an undertaking to read. The short story is superbly short at only three pages and is available to read for free online. So, again, if you really enjoyed this world and are eager to know all you possibly can, I would recommend reading the short story.

Will There Be Another The Maze Runner Book?

Yes! In May 2020, James Dashner teased a return to The Maze Runner . Then in March 2021, he shared a photo with the headline 73 years later with a caption saying the book was finished.

On November 1st, 2022, that book has finally published. It’s called The Maze Cutter, and it’s Book 1 in a new Maze Runner series set 73 years after the first series. You can read it now and be on the lookout for more Maze Runner books to come.

The Maze Runner Movies in Order

The Maze Runner film trilogy tells a complete story, so you have to watch them in the order of their released date.

Here is the list of all The Maze Runner movies:

  • The Maze Runner (2014)
  • Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)
  • Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

Will there be a The Maze Runner 4 Movie?

Some fans have speculated about The Maze Runner 4 movie because of the success of the franchise. But, the creatives behind the films took a hard line about ending the series following the Death Cure.

The screenwriter, T.S. Nowlin already talked about how much they don’t want to do a fourth movie because it’s rare to create something clean. And they liked how things wrapped up in the 2018 finale.

But this doesn’t mean there are no Maze Runner adaptations to produce as there are remaining prequels to the series. But, with the prequels’s different timelines, it would require different casts and likely a different creative team.

The Maze Runner Books in Detail

The Godhead Complex Maze Runner Books in Order

2. The Godhead Complex

This is the upcoming second book in the new Maze Cutter series.

12 Biggest Book Changes In The Maze Runner Movies

  • The Maze Runner movies make changes to the original books, such as removing Thomas and Teresa's telepathic powers.
  • The portrayal of the Grievers' attacks differs between the books and movies, with the movies showcasing more tension and urgency.
  • The movie adaptation of Maze Runner: Death Cure removes important context about WCKD's secret motivation, leaving audiences with unanswered questions.

The Maze Runner movies adapt their story from the eponymous books by James Dashner, but they also change multiple characters and storylines. In 2014, The Maze Runner was released when teen dystopian film adaptations were at the height of their popularity. The movie series centers on a society destroyed by the Flare Virus, which causes scientists to commit heinous experiments on children in the hopes of finding a cure.

The movies pull many of their storylines from the Maze Runner books ; however, they also take creative liberties. Some of these changes are small and unimportant to the plot, like the organization name WCKD (called WICKED in the books). However, other changes from the books to the movies have a significant impact on the overall narrative and character arcs.

The Maze Runner Movies Cut Thomas And Teresa's Telepathic Powers

In the Maze Runner books, Thomas and Teresa can talk to each other via telepathy. This allows them to communicate at any time, no matter where they're located. Often, Thomas and Teresa's inner dialogue provides context for the events occurring throughout the series. When adapting the books into films, the director decided to cut out the pair's telepathic powers due to the difficulty of including telepathy in a movie format (via MTV ). Ultimately, by severing the psychic connection, the movies could focus on developing the characters individually. It also made Teresa's death more significant because the two characters built a stronger external connection.

The Griever Attacks Look Different

The Grievers play an important role in the first Maze Runner movie and book. However, their attacks look vastly different between the two mediums. In the books, the Grievers take characters from the Glade one by one. Their stings also don't pose a threat to the Gladers because they have ample access to the Grief Serum. This contrasts with the movies, where the Grievers massacre numerous Gladers all at once. The Grievers kill with their teeth, as well as their stings, and the children have no access to the serum until Teresa arrives with two vials. These changes provided more tension and urgency in the movie.

Maze Runner: Death Cure Removes WCKD’s Secret Motives

Maze Runner: Death Cure 's ending diverges greatly from The Death Cure book in many ways, but one of the most significant is the missing epilogue. In the book's epilogue, Chancellor Ava Paige writes a memorandum about WCKD's secret motivation. After realizing that they couldn't find the cure, WICKED shifted their focus to saving the Immunes, allowing them to rebuild society. This explains the phrase "WCKD Is Good," which appeared in the Maze Runner movies. Unfortunately, the movie removed this context entirely. While the change created a better enemy for the Gladers and the Right Arm, it also left an unanswered question about the phrase's meaning.

Only The First Phase Of WCKD’s Experiment Appears

The first Maze Runner movie centers on the first phase of WCKD's experiment. By the time the second movie comes around, though, the characters are no longer in the experiment. Instead, the Gladers go off with the Right Arm, the resistance group fighting against WCKD. In the books, the Right Arm doesn't appear until halfway through The Death Cure . The second phase of the experiment requires them to make it across the scorch, a task they do because they believe WICKED gave them all the Flare Virus. In the third phase, each subject faces a unique test catered to them.

Newt’s Tragic Backstory Is Absent

One major change from the Maze Runner books to the movies is Newt's backstory. The movie series establishes that everyone in the Maze Trial is immune to the Flare Virus. In Maze Runner: Death Cure , Newt gets infected. The only explanation given for this change is that WCKD needed a control subject for the experiment. Unfortunately, this creates more questions in the Maze Runner movies than it answers. The books provide a tragic backstory that better explains Newt's presence. WICKED wants to take his sister, Lizzy, and murders their parents when they refuse. They put Newt in the experiment as a control subject, knowing he'll eventually become a crank.

The Movies Don’t Explore WCKD’s Mind Control Abilities

The Maze Runner movies only briefly allude to the fact that WCKD can control the minds of the experiment subjects. This is seen in Maze Runner: Death Cure, when Minho starts hallucinating about the Maze Trial, something WCKD seemingly triggers to withdraw the cure from his blood. However, WICKED controls subjects much more frequently in the books. For example, in The Maze Runner , Gally throws a knife at Thomas due to WICKED's mind control — an act that ultimately kills Chuck, who dives in front of his friend. This is only one instance where the Gladers act through mind compulsion.

The Origin And Stages Of The Flare Virus Aren’t Explained

The Maze Runner movie franchise only briefly touches on the origins of the Flare Virus. The films state that the Post-Flare Coalition created the virus to control the population after The Flare. The movies never explain why they decided to create the virus. On top of this, the movies barely touch on the stages of the Flare Virus , simply showing Cranks in their final stage. The book series explores all of these things in detail, providing more lore and world-building.

Maze Runner: Scorch Trials Cuts The Book’s Most Terrifying Scene

One of the most terrifying scenes in The Scorch Trials never appears in the movie adaptation. In the book, the Gladers walk down a dark tunnel, where they encounter metal balls on the ceiling. These balls, created by WICKED, fall onto the Gladers. When they latch onto a person, the metal covers their entire head, ultimately decapitating them. The metal balls can defy gravity by flying sideways too. When the Gladers realize what the metal balls do, they start screaming and run as fast as they can to escape with their lives. It's unfortunate that the movie left this scene out because it would've made a great action sequence.

WCKD’s Search For The Cure Looks Different In The Books

In the Maze Runner movie franchise, WCKD conducts the experiment to induce the production of cure enzymes in the Immunes' brains. By The Maze Runner: Death Cure , the organization finds a way to extract the cure from the Immunes' blood. This is vastly different from the book series. Throughout the books, WICKED does brain scans on the Immunes, trying to understand why they can't get the Flare Virus. In The Death Cure , WICKED reveals that there is no existing cure for the virus, meaning the Cranks will all die out. In the epilogue, Ava Paige reveals that the organization discovered this earlier and shifted their focus to saving the Immunes.

Thomas Never Returns to The Maze In The Movies

In The Death Cure , Thomas must return to the Maze Trial to save the other Immunes who get stuck with the Grievers. This takes up a good chunk of the book. Once he finally gets to the Immunes, they use the teleporter — called the Flat Transportation — to reach the Safe Haven. None of this occurs in The Maze Runner : Death Cure because the plot had diverted so drastically by that point that it wouldn't have made any sense. All the Gladers escaped the Maze Trial, and Thomas was entirely focused on taking down WCKD.

12 Biggest Book Changes In The Maze Runner Movies

Screen Rant

Dylan o'brien had the perfect maze runner franchise replacement lined up 7 years ago.

Dylan O'Brien found the perfect replacement for the Maze Runner franchise right before the trilogy ended, but the first film ruined those plans.

  • Dylan O'Brien's career after Maze Runner focused on smaller character-focused projects while still showcasing his talents as an action star.
  • American Assassin was meant to be O'Brien's next major franchise, offering him the opportunity to grow as a lead in a long-running series.
  • Unfortunately, American Assassin's box office performance was disappointing, leading to the loss of O'Brien's potential replacement franchise and his continued search for a new action franchise.

Dylan O'Brien is best known for starring in the Maze Runner franchise, but he had a perfect replacement action series lined up several years ago. The Maze Runner movie trilogy ran from 2014 to 2018 and provided an opportunity for O'Brien to find his first major action franchise. After starring in Teen Wolf , playing Thomas in the films based on the young adult novels opened the doors to greater opportunities for his career. This was largely due to the movies collectively making almost $1 billion, signaling to Hollywood that Dylan O'Brien could be capable of carrying action movie franchises.

Despite countless rumors about superhero movie roles or taking part in a bigger, established franchise, Dylan O'Brien's career after the Maze Runner movies concluded went in a different direction. He refocused a bit on doing smaller projects that were more character-focused while still finding time to show off his talents as an action movie star when possible. The actor still does not have a major new franchise that he is part of six years after Maze Runner: The Death Cure 's ending . However, he had the ideal replacement franchise lined up before it ended.

American Assassin

With Dylan O'Brien's time in Maze Runner coming to a close, the actor found what was meant to be his next big franchise in American Assassin . The 2017 action movie starred him and Michael Keaton as covert CIA black ops agents, with O'Brien playing the lead role of Mitch Rapp. He signed onto the project in 2016 after already starting production on his final Maze Runner movie. Since American Assassin was released by Lionsgate less than a year before Maze Runner: The Death Cure came out, it was clear O'Brien had selected this project due to its franchise potential.

Chris Hemsworth was considered to play Mitch Rapp years before Dylan O'Brien was cast as American Assassin's development evolved.

American Assassin is based on Vince Flynn's book series of the same name. The first novel came out in 1999, and Flynn has worked tirelessly over the years to expand Mitch Rapp's story into an ongoing series. There are currently 23 published books in the American Assassin universe , with more on the way even though the author passed away in 2013. That amount of source material is why franchise expectations were so high for the action movie. It's understandable, then, why O'Brien could be interested in leading a franchise that could go on for decades.

American Assassin Would've Allowed Dylan O'Brien's Action Movie Career To Mature

The idea of American Assassin becoming the next big franchise for Dylan O'Brien had more appeal than just finding a replacement for Maze Runner . The spy action series would have ideally given the actor a chance to grow as the lead of a major franchise. The Maze Runner movies were quite successful, but they were also bigger in scope, required more CGI at points, and heavily focused on the PG-13 young adult elements like Thomas and Teresa's relationship and the teenage characters growing up. This worked at the time for O'Brien, but it was not something to replicate going forward.

Dylan O'Brien in Maze Runner and Not Okay

Every Dylan O’Brien Movie Ranked From Worst to Best

American Assassin is the opposite of Maze Runner in a lot of ways. The film's R-rated adaptation of the Mitch Rapp novels allowed the first film to be more mature, gritty, and violent than what the Maze Runner movies could do. This allowed for a natural maturation in terms of the characters that Dylan O'Brien played, going from a growing leader in Thomas to a hardened killer in Mitch. American Assassin even challenged the actor's action skills with more hand-to-hand sequences and combat-oriented stunts. The film franchise would surely have evolved from there and further highlighted O'Brien's talents.

American Assassin's Box Office Killed Any Franchise Hopes

Unfortunately for O'Brien, these franchise hopes were squashed once American Assassin bombed at the box office . After being met with mostly negative reviews from critics, what looked to be a promising action movie turned into a financial disappointment. American Assassin only made $67.2 million worldwide upon its release. The film reportedly only had a budget of $30 million, meaning that Lionsgate may have broken even on the film at the end of the day if marketing costs were low enough.

Even with that optimistic view on the financial performance, American Assassin 's box office did not clearly signal to Lionsgate that this was a viable new franchise worth exploring further. The studio never formally put any other Mitch Rapp book into development as a movie, although that was sure to happen if the first had been a success. Without the obvious signals from audiences that American Assassin was the start of a story they wanted to see more of, Dylan O'Brien lost his potential Maze Runner replacement and is still looking for a new action franchise as a result.

Companies Linked to Russian Ransomware Hide in Plain Sight

Cybersecurity experts tracing money paid by American businesses to Russian ransomware gangs found it led to one of Moscow’s most prestigious addresses.

new book maze runner

By Andrew E. Kramer

MOSCOW — When cybersleuths traced the millions of dollars American companies, hospitals and city governments have paid to online extortionists in ransom money, they made a telling discovery: At least some of it passed through one of the most prestigious business addresses in Moscow.

The Biden administration has also zeroed in on the building, Federation Tower East, the tallest skyscraper in the Russian capital. The United States has targeted several companies in the tower as it seeks to penalize Russian ransomware gangs, which encrypt their victims’ digital data and then demand payments to unscramble it.

Those payments are typically made in cryptocurrencies, virtual currencies like Bitcoin, which the gangs then need to convert to standard currencies, like dollars, euros and rubles.

That this high-rise in Moscow’s financial district has emerged as an apparent hub of such money laundering has convinced many security experts that the Russian authorities tolerate ransomware operators. The targets are almost exclusively outside Russia, they point out, and in at least one case documented in a U.S. sanctions announcement, the suspect was assisting a Russian espionage agency.

“It says a lot,” said Dmitry Smilyanets, a threat intelligence expert with the Massachusetts-based cybersecurity firm Recorded Future. “Russian law enforcement usually has an answer: ‘There is no case open in Russian jurisdiction. There are no victims. How do you expect us to prosecute these honorable people?’”

Recorded Future has counted about 50 cryptocurrency exchanges in Moscow City, a financial district in the capital, that in its assessment are engaged in illicit activity. Other exchanges in the district are not suspected of accepting cryptocurrencies linked to crime.

Cybercrime is just one of many issues fueling tensions between Russia and the United States, along with the Russian military buildup near Ukraine and a recent migrant crisis on the Belarus-Polish border.

The Treasury Department has estimated that Americans have paid $1.6 billion in ransoms since 2011. One Russian ransomware strain, Ryuk, made an estimated $162 million last year encrypting the computer systems of American hospitals during the pandemic and demanding fees to release the data, according to Chainalysis, a company tracking cryptocurrency transactions.

The hospital attacks cast a spotlight on the rapidly expanding criminal industry of ransomware, which is based primarily in Russia. Criminal syndicates have become more efficient, and brazen, in what has become a conveyor-belt-like process of hacking, encrypting and then negotiating for ransom in cryptocurrencies, which can be owned anonymously.

At a summit meeting in June, President Biden pressed President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to crack down on ransomware after a Russian gang, DarkSide, attacked a major gasoline pipeline on the East Coast, Colonial Pipeline , disrupting supplies and creating lines at gas stations.

American officials point to people like Maksim Yakubets, a skinny 34-year-old with a pompadour haircut whom the United States has identified as a kingpin of a major cybercrime operation calling itself Evil Corp. Cybersecurity analysts have linked his group to a series of ransomware attacks, including one last year targeting the National Rifle Association. A U.S. sanctions announcement accused Mr. Yakubets of also assisting Russia’s Federal Security Service, the main successor to the K.G.B.

But after the State Department announced a $5 million bounty for information leading to his arrest, Mr. Yakubets seemed only to flaunt his impunity in Russia: He was photographed driving in Moscow in a Lamborghini partially painted fluorescent yellow.

The cluster of suspected cryptocurrency exchanges in Federation Tower East, first reported last month by Bloomberg News, further illustrates how the Russian ransomware industry hides in plain sight.

The 97-floor, glass-and-steel high-rise resting on a bend in the Moscow River stands within sight of several government ministries in the financial district, including the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Signals and Mass Communications .

Two of the Biden administration’s most forceful actions to date targeting ransomware are linked to the tower. In September, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on a cryptocurrency exchange called Suex, which has offices on the 31st floor. It accused the company of laundering $160 million in illicit funds.

In an interview at the time, a founder of Suex, Vasily Zhabykin, denied any illegal activity.

And last month, Russian news media outlets reported that Dutch police, using a U.S. extradition warrant, had detained the owner, Denis Dubnikov, of another firm called EggChange, with an office on the 22nd floor. In a statement issued by one of his companies, Mr. Dubnikov denied any wrongdoing.

Ransomware is attractive to criminals, cybersecurity experts say, because the attacks take place mostly anonymously and online, minimizing the chances of getting caught. It has mushroomed into a sprawling, highly compartmentalized industry in Russia known to cybersecurity researchers as “ransomware as a service.”

The organizational structure mimics franchises, like McDonald’s or Hertz, that lower barriers to entry, allowing less sophisticated hackers to use established business practices to get into the business. Several high-level gangs develop software and promote fearsome-sounding brands, such as DarkSide or Maze, to intimidate businesses and other organizations that are targets. Other groups that are only loosely related hack into computer systems using the brand and franchised software.

The industry’s growth has been abetted by the rise of cryptocurrencies. That has made old-school money mules, who sometimes had to smuggle cash across borders, practically obsolete.

Laundering the cryptocurrency through exchanges is the final step, and also the most vulnerable, because criminals must exit the anonymous online world to appear at a physical location, where they trade Bitcoin for cash or deposit it in a bank.

The exchange offices are “the end of the Bitcoin and ransomware rainbow,” said Gurvais Grigg, a former F.B.I. agent who is a researcher with Chainalysis, the cryptocurrency tracking company.

The computer codes in virtual currencies allow transactions to be tracked from one user to another, even if the owners’ identities are anonymous, until the cryptocurrency reaches an exchange. There, in theory, records should link the cryptocurrency with a real person or company.

“They are really one of the key points in the whole ransomware strain,” Mr. Grigg said of the exchange offices. Ransomware gangs, he said, “want to make money. And until you cash it out, and you get it through an exchange at a cash-out point, you cannot spend it.”

It is at this point, cybersecurity experts say, that criminals should be identified and apprehended. But the Russian government has allowed the exchanges to flourish, saying that it only investigates cybercrime if Russian laws are violated. Regulations are a gray area in Russia, as elsewhere, in the nascent industry of cryptocurrency trading.

Russian cryptocurrency traders say the United States is imposing an unfair burden of due diligence on their companies, given the quickly evolving nature of regulations.

“The people who are real criminals, who create ransomware, and the people working in Moscow City are completely different people,” Sergei Mendeleyev, a founder of one trader based in Federation Tower East, Garantex, said in an interview. The Russian crypto exchanges, he said, were blamed for crimes they are unaware of.

Mr. Mendeleyev, who no longer works at the company, said American cryptocurrency tracking services provide data to non-Russian exchanges to help them avoid illicit transactions but have refused to work with Russian traders — in part because they suspect the traders might use the information to tip off criminals. That complicates the Russian companies’ efforts to root out illegal activity.

He conceded that not all Russian exchanges tried very hard. Some based in Moscow’s financial district were little more than an office, a safe full of cash and a computer, he said.

At least 15 cryptocurrency exchanges are based in Federation Tower East, according to a list of businesses in the building compiled by Yandex, a Russian mapping service.

In addition to Suex and EggChange, the companies targeted by the Biden administration, cyberresearchers and an international cryptocurrency exchange company have flagged two other building tenants that they suspect of illegal activity involving Bitcoin.

The building manager, Aeon Corp., did not respond to inquiries about the exchanges in its offices.

Like the banks and insurance companies they share space with, those firms are likely to have chosen the site for its status and its stringent building security, said Mr. Smilyanets, the researcher at Recorded Future.

“The Moscow City skyscrapers are very fancy,” he said. “They can post on Instagram with these beautiful sights, beautiful skyscrapers. It boosts their legitimacy.”

An earlier version of a picture caption with this article misstated the year in which Colonial Pipeline was hacked. It was 2021, not 2020.

There are more than 20 towns in America called Moscow. Why is that?

When Jack Spaulding was growing up in Moscow, Tennessee, he always wondered how the town, a small, rural community of about 80 residents, got its name. It didn’t seem to have any obvious connection with Russia, but could any of the local tales he’d heard actually be true?

“I would ask all the old folks here in town if anybody knew how the town got its name. Well, I got all these hokey answers like, ‘Well, it's because of the moss and... they used to send the cows down there to graze on the moss. Moss cow. And then after that Ma's cow — like, belonging to your mother's. ... Nobody really had any idea where the name came about,” Spaulding says.

Spaulding eventually dug deeper, and his research turned up an unexpected finding: The area had been known as something like “Moscow” since before the town was founded in the early 1800s. That clue led him in a new direction.  

“I went through the dictionary looking for any type of word that would sound similar to Moscow or would be spoken by Europeans like 'Moscow' and I believe as I recall, the word closest to that was Mashetow," he says.

According to Spaulding, Mashetow was a Native American word meaning "to go" or "the place to where we're going."

"I think Moscow was the place to where the Native Americans would go for the watering ground. ... What is this place? Mashetow! This is the place we're going.”

Spaulding’s conclusion wasn’t definitive, but it was a worthy effort. He isn’t the only person to set out trying to figure out why a small town in the middle of America acquired the same name as the capital of Russia. There are more than 20 identically named cities scattered across the country. There’s a Moscow in Idaho near the border with Washington, another up north in Maine and one down south in Texas.

When Ren Vasilyev, now a professor of geography at the State University of New York Geneseo, was a graduate student, she decided to tackle the riddle of America’s many Moscows. It was 1986, the height of the Cold War battle with the Moscow-capitaled Soviet Union, and in those misty pre-Internet days, a project like this required a lot of analog legwork.

She poured through old county history books, and found that just as with Spaulding's hometown, most of the Moscows in America didn’t have anything to do with Russia or its capital.

One was the result of a misunderstanding: Moscow, Kansas. Town officials had tried to name their city after Luis de Moscoso, a Spanish conquistador, but they decided to shorten the name to M-O-S-C-O. When they submitted an application to create a post office, it came back with the extra letter.

“The guy in DC thought that these little silly people in Kansas didn't know what they were doing and had spelled the name wrong. So he had added that W on it,” Vasilyev says.

But, the most common reason people named their community Moscow, she learned, was more straightforward.

“Things like Spring Valley or Springfield or Blossom Hill, or you know, those kind of pretty generic names were already taken. And so people started using what were considered exotic names, hoping that no one had already used them,” she says.

The mystery of the Moscows of America also intrigued Erjan Aisabay, who set out to visit all of them and write a book about his experience. Aisabay, who was born in Kazakhstan but attended college in the original Moscow, launched his project hoping that America’s shared love of Russia’s capital city might help bring the two countries together.

But as Aisabay drove from state to state, his dream of finding a Russian connection dwindled. And some of America’s Muscovites turned out to be less than supportive. Like in Moscow, Texas, where his attempt to strike up a conversation didn’t turn out as planned.

“I say, 'Hi my name is so and so, you know I'm writing a book about Moscows' and then you know she looks at me like completely mistrust and she's like 'You should leave.' ... And I saw something that looked like a gun. ... This was my last Moscow and I'm like, 'I don't want to die in my last Moscow!'”
