Plum Valley is an extinct town in west central Texas County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1] The community lies near the East Fork of Roubidoux Creek, approximately one mile west of Missouri Route 17 and 3.5 miles west of Bucyrus.[2]
A post office called Plum Valley was established in 1858, and remained in operation until 1910.[3] The community was named for a grove of wild plum trees near the original town site.[4]
