Allenville, MO

Tucked away in rural Cape Girardeau County, Allenville is a tiny village situated between Whitewater and Delta. Founded in 1869 along the Belmont Branch Railroad and named after railroad builder Thomas Allen, the community started as a bustling depot for freight shipping and cattle drives along the Lone Star Trail. Today, that historic footprint remains visible in its simple street layout, set against a quiet backdrop of open fields and waterways.

With a population of under 100 residents, Allenville offers a peaceful, close-knit rural setting. Local students attend the nearby Delta R-V School District, located just a short drive to the southeast in Delta. The community gives residents plenty of space, privacy, and scenic country surroundings near the Headwater Diversion Channel, all while keeping them within easy commuting distance of Cape Girardeau and Jackson for shopping, dining, and everyday services.
