About Stella

Stella is a quiet, close-knit village tucked into southern Newton County, Missouri, sitting about 17 miles southeast of Neosho along South Indian Creek. With a population of around 160 residents, it offers a peaceful rural setting while keeping you within driving distance of Joplin. The community dates back to the 1820s, when it first began as a small fishing settlement called Springs, and it still retains that easygoing charm right above the McDonald County line.
