Gumbo, Missouri

Last updated

Gumbo is an unincorporated community in northwestern St. Francois County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1] The community is located along Missouri Route 8 between Desloge and Leadwood. The meandering Big River lies to the north. [2]

Gumbo most likely was so named on account of "gombo" dirt near the original town site. [3]

During World War II, a large TNT plant was located five miles west of Gumbo. [4]
