Homeland, Missouri
Homeland is an unincorporated community in southwest Howell County, in the Ozarks of southern Missouri, United States.[1] The community is located on U.S. Route 160, approximately four miles southwest of West Plains. Arrowhead Lakes on Spring Creek lie just to the southeast.[2]
History
A post office called Homeland was established in 1873, and remained in operation until 1895.[3] Early settlers who petitioned to secure the post office named the community after their home.[4]
gollark: 3 doesn't exist? Are we using some sort of weirdly shifted base 9?

gollark: So if we use that posts' claim that 10000 bees occupy 6300cm³ and a random website's that bees weigh about 0.1g each, bees have a density of 159kg/m³, which is less than water. That sounds wrong.
gollark: I doubt it, bees are self-replicating.
gollark: https://www.reddit.com/r/bees/comments/5kf5lz/urgent_what_is_the_volume_of_10000_western_honey/ seems to have some information, though.
