Stark City, in rural Newton County Missouri, was not around during the American Civil War as its neighbor town to the north, Newtonia, was. But when the original Missouri & Northern Arkansas (not related to the current M&NA) decided to build from the Frisco connection at Wayne (now a ghost town in Barry County) to Neosho, they chose to put the railroad through the newer town of Stark City, rather than Newtonia. Although Stark City isn't very big, it still has its own post office (rare for such small towns in this area) and fire department.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
