Dugginsville is a small, quiet place in southwestern Ozark County, Missouri, in the United States. It's not an official city or town, but rather an unincorporated community. You can find it about five miles south of Theodosia. It's also very close to Bull Shoals Lake and the border with Arkansas.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community like Dugginsville is a group of homes or buildings that doesn't have its own local government. This means it doesn't have a mayor or a city council. Instead, it's usually governed by the county it's in. These places are often smaller and more spread out than towns or cities.

A Look at Its History

Dugginsville has been around for a while. A post office was opened there in 1894. This was a very important place for people to send and receive mail. The post office served the community for many years, finally closing its doors in 1981. The community itself was named after the Duggins family, who lived in the area.
