Palo Pinto is a small, quiet place in Benton County, Missouri, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and maybe a few buildings that aren't officially part of a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the county government. Palo Pinto is located about 6.6 miles (or 10.6 kilometers) west of a town called Lincoln.
History of Palo Pinto
Palo Pinto was started a long time ago, in the year 1876. A post office was opened there in 1877. This post office helped people send and receive letters and packages. However, the post office eventually closed down in 1904. The name "Palo Pinto" might have come from a place in Palo Pinto County, Texas.
