History of Jane, Missouri
For many years, Jane was an area without its own local government. But in 2005, people living there decided to make it an official town. They did this to prevent Pineville, a town about 6 miles away, from taking over their land.
Pineville had grown a lot because a major highway, US 71 (now called Interstate 49), was made wider. In 2006, Jane also grew bigger. It expanded south to include a large part of US 71. Now, Jane stretches almost to the Arkansas state line, mostly along this important highway.
Geography of Jane
Jane is located in the southern part of McDonald County. You can find it where Missouri Route 90 meets U.S. Route 71. The very first part of Jane is about one mile east, on an older path of US 71.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the town of Jane covers an area of about 2.98 square miles. All of this area is land. Water from Jane flows into small streams that lead to Little Sugar Creek. This creek then flows northwest and becomes the Elk River near Pineville.
Community Services in Jane
The town of Jane has its own volunteer fire department. It also provides water and sewer services to its residents. The sewer system is connected to a treatment plant in Bella Vista, Arkansas. The money for this system came from a special loan that residents voted for in 2008. Those who use the service help pay back the loan. Electricity for the area is provided by New-Mac Electric Company.
White Rock Elementary School is located near the center of Jane. It is part of the McDonald County R-I School District. Law enforcement and 911 emergency services for Jane are provided by the McDonald County Sheriff's Office, which is in Pineville.

Walmart's main offices are in Bentonville, Arkansas, which is about 14 miles south of Jane.
