Dallas, Missouri

Last updated

Dallas is an extinct hamlet in what was southeastern Holt County, but presently southwestern Andrew County. It was located one mile north of the mouth of the Nodaway River. [1]

History

The first attempt to start a town was on April 17, 1843, when Abraham Brown platted Dallas. It was never much of a town but was a noted shipping point. There was a minor rivalry between this town and the even more ephemeral West Union. Both of these settlement preceded and were eventually replaced by Forbes. [2]
