Gravel Point is an extinct town in southwestern Texas County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] The community and Gravel Point School is on Gravel Point Road and adjacent to a small tributary of West Piney Creek. It was approximately eight miles north-northwest of Cabool.[2]
A post office called Gravel Point was established in 1871, the name was changed to Gravelpoint in 1895, and the post office closed in 1905.[3] The community was so named on account of gravel deposits near the original town site.[4]
