About Hunter
Located in the rolling Ozarks of Carter County, Hunter is a quiet rural hamlet home to fewer than 100 residents. The town originated in the 1880s as a busy logging stop and railroad junction for the Missouri Lumber and Mining Company. After the timber boom ended in the early 1900s, the surrounding acreage was divided into small family farms. Today, Hunter offers a peaceful, spread-out countryside setting surrounded by the deep forests of southeastern Missouri.
