Goodhope, Missouri facts for kids

Goodhope is a small, unincorporated community located in the southwestern part of Douglas County, Missouri, in the United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's usually governed by the county.

This community is situated on the south side where two Missouri State Routes, T and O, meet. It's also just west of where Route T crosses with Missouri Route 76.
