Amos is an unincorporated community in northwest Vernon County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

History

Amos was platted in 1894 when the railroad was extended to that point.[3] The community has the name of Amos Nickerson, a local merchant.[3] A post office called Amos was established in 1893, and remained in operation until 1931.[4]
