Foose is an unincorporated community in western Dallas County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1] The community lies on Missouri Route EE, just west of U.S. Route 65, approximately seven miles south-southwest of Buffalo. The Dallas- Polk county line is two miles west along Route EE. [2] The community is at an elevation of 1207 feet [1] and Greasy Creek, a tributary of the Niangua River, drains the area to the east of Route 65. [3]
A post office called Foose was established in 1893, and remained in operation until 1905. [4] The community most likely derives its name from Foosland, Illinois, the native home of a share of the first settlers. [5]
