Paw Paw, Missouri

Last updated

Paw Paw is a community in south central Sullivan County, in the U.S. state of Missouri, which the GNIS classifies as a populated place. [1]

The community is located approximately one third mile north of Paw Paw Creek, approximately 7.5 miles (12.1 km) south-southeast of Milan and six miles (9.7 km) northeast of Browning. [2]

The name was sometimes spelled "Pawpaw". [1] A post office called Pawpaw was established in 1899 and remained in operation until 1905. [3] The community most likely was so named because of the paw paw thickets near the original town site. [4]
