Gumbo, Missouri
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]
