Description
A sawmill camp and settlement in the western part Scott County. Joe Moore and his father, who owned large tracts of land in this region, took steps to establish a post office here in 1891 and suggested the name Moorefield or Mooreland, but post office authorities objected because of Morehouse, which is six miles south of this place in New Madrid County. The post office was then named Tanner for Samuel Tanner who also owned land in this community. It was sometimes called Tanner Switch because of its location on the old St. Louis Southwestern Railroad.
