Minimum is an unincorporated community in southeastern Iron County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.

History

A post office called Minimum was established in 1904, and remained in operation until 1955. The name "Minimum" is said to be derived from the first name of Minnie Farr, the wife of an early postmaster.
