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]
