Edanville, Missouri

Edanville is an extinct town in northern Texas County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1]

The site is on the west bank of the Big Piney River approximately three quarters of a mile south of the Texas-Pulaski county line.[2]

A post office called Edanville was in operation from 1892 until 1926.[3] The community most likely was so named on account of its eden-like setting.[4]
