Not, Missouri

Not is an unincorporated community in Shannon County, Missouri, United States.[1]

History

A post office called Not was established in 1886, and remained in operation until 1917.[2] The community was so named on account of the knot that adorned a black oak tree near the original town site (a postal error accounts for the error in spelling that was never corrected).[3]
