Sycamore is an unincorporated community in eastern Ozark County in the Ozarks of southern Missouri, United States.[2] It is located on Route 181, approximately fourteen miles northeast of Gainesville. The old townsite is located on a ridge on the west side of Bryant Creek, a major tributary of the North Fork River. The old Hodgson Mill and spring lie on Bryant Creek 0.8 mi (1.3 km) to the northeast.[1] The mill was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as Aid-Hodgson Mill in 2001.[3]
The community was founded in 1891 and named for a grove of American sycamore trees near the original town site.[4] The community post office was originally located in Hodgson Mill in 1891. The post office was later moved to the Sycamore store and remained active until 1973.[3][5]
