Dogwood is an unincorporated community in Mississippi County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]
History
editA variant name was "Sands".[1] A post office called Sands was established in 1902, and remained in operation until 1908.[2] Besides the post office, the community contained the Dogwood School.[3] The community derives its present name from a grove of dogwood trees which stood near the schoolhouse.[4]
