Eve is an unincorporated community in Vernon County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]
History
Eve was originally called "Clayton Station", and under the latter had its start when the railroad was extended to that point.[2] A post office called Clayton was established in 1872, the name was changed to Eve in 1885, and the post office closed in 1914.[3] The change in name was required by postal officials in order to prevent repetition with another Clayton in the state.[2]
