About Novelty

Tucked away in Knox County, Novelty is a peaceful rural village with a charming origin story. It got its name back in the 1850s from a local doctor's eclectic general store, which drew in folks from across the surrounding countryside. The town even served as a local educational hub in the late 19th century when Oaklawn College opened here. Today, residents enjoy a quiet, slow-paced lifestyle within the Knox County R-I School District, surrounded by rolling northeast Missouri farmland.
