Hazelgreen, Missouri
Hazelgreen is an unincorporated community in eastern Laclede County, Missouri, United States.[1] It lies along historic U.S. Route 66, now an outer road of Interstate 44. The town is split by I-44, one mile west of the I-44 - Missouri Route 133 junction in adjacent Pulaski County. The Gasconade River is just north and west of the site.[2]
A post office was established at Hazelgreen in 1858, and remained in operation until 1958.[3] The community was named for the hazel bushes near the original town site.[4]
