Hopewell, Warren County, Missouri

Hopewell is an unincorporated community in Warren County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

History

Hopewell was originally called "Hopewell Academy", and under the latter name was laid out in 1876. [2] The original name is somewhat of a misnomer, since there was no academy near the town site.[2] A post office called Hopewell Academy was established in 1863, and remained in operation until 1906.[3]

gollark: This really wasn't as hard as people seemed to imply, although that might just be hindsight bias as I did it and thus am familiar with it.
gollark: Very clever, me.
gollark: Which really was a great decision on my part, as this is my entry.
gollark: Oh. This isn't just "an ELF binary". This is coreutils base32!
