Enough is a ghost town in northern Iron County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1] It lies near the headwaters of the Big River. [2] The site is now part of Mark Twain National Forest at the south end of Council Bluff Lake, created in 1981. The Forest Service has a boat ramp for the lake at Enough.
History
A post office called Enough was established in 1916, and continued until 1937. [3] The community was named by postal officials who informed the imaginative postmaster that his hundreds of naming suggestions were "enough". [4] [5]
