Unincorporated community in Vernon County, Missouri, United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montevallo is an unincorporated community in southeast Vernon County, Missouri, United States.[1] The community is on Missouri Route E between Milo (10 miles west) and Olympia four miles to the east in adjacent Cedar County. Nevada is approximately 16 miles to the northeast.[2]
Montevallo was platted in the 1850s.[3] The community was severely damaged during the Civil War.[4] The original town site, located approximately one and one-half miles northwest of the present town, is now known as "Old Montevallo".[5] The entire town was moved to its present location sometime after the Civil War.[6] A post office was established at Montevallo in 1858, and remained in operation until being discontinued in 1968.[7] Montevallo is derived from Italian words for the hill in the valley.[8]
