Boxford is an extinct town in DeKalb County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1]
The community was on the east bank of the Third Fork Platte River approximately three miles northwest of Clarksdale and about one-half mile from the DeKalb - Andrew county line. [2]
A post office was established in 1854, and remained in operation until 1902. [3] The community was supposed to be named Oxford; a postal error accounts for the error in spelling, which was never corrected. [4]
