Flag, Missouri

Flag is an extinct community in Taney County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.^[1] It was on the west side of the county, near the Stone County line, a bit north of the present day location of the Table Rock Dam.^[2]

A post office called Flag was established in 1900, and remained in operation until 1927.^[3] Flag once contained a schoolhouse, which is now defunct.^[4]^[5]^[6] Some say the community was named after the American flag, while others believe it was named for a flag station near the original town site.^[7]
