It is located approximately five miles east of Neosho. HistoryFounded by Truman Elmore, the town was named after the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad, resulting in the name, MoNArk Springs.[1] In August 1956, an outbreak of typhoid fever occurred in Monark Springs during a national Church of God camp meeting that had over 400 members from other states as far west as California and east to Kentucky, attending.[2][3] The cases continued to spread outside of the town after the meeting, with 16 reported cases cropping up in various parts of Missouri and Kansas.[4][5] CDC officials were sent to the camp site to investigate the water in the area, in order to determine the exact source of the outbreak.[6] It was eventually discovered that a carrier of typhoid fever had unknowingly contaminated the water in the well that had been used as drinking water for the entire camp site.[7] A fire began in three separate spots on Halloween 1997 at Red's Tire Service in Monark Springs. (Not at Monark Springs, but between Neosho, MO and Joplin, MO.) The site had housed from 600,000 to one million tires and about half ended up being burned in the blaze. The owner of the site was investigated for arson because of the incident and later sued by the state, having to eventually sign an agreement with the state that reduced the number of tires he was allowed to keep at one time. The site had previously been important, as it was the "only waste-tire dump in southwest Missouri with a state permit".[8] The fires continued to smolder even seven months afterward, with Richard Allen, a "spokesman for the Missouri Department of Natural Resources", quoted as saying, "It's the shredded tires that are still smoldering, and they probably will be for a long, long time."[9] References1. ^{{cite book |last1=James |first1=Larry |title=The Monark Towns and Surrounding Villages |date=1999 |publisher=Newton County Historical Society |page=1-7}} 2. ^{{cite news |title=TYPHOID HITS FAMILIES AT CHURCH MEET |newspaper=Chicago Daily Tribune |date=August 26, 1956 |url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/509693472.html?dids=509693472:509693472&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=Aug+26%2C+1956&author=&pub=Chicago+Tribune&desc=TYPHOID+HITS+FAMILIES+AT+CHURCH+MEET&pqatl=google |accessdate=October 24, 2010}} 3. ^{{cite journal |author=Jean Strouse | authorlink=Jean Strouse |year=1956 |title=Monark Springs Typhoid Fever |journal=Newsweek |publisher= |volume=48 |issue=1–13 |pages= |url=https://books.google.com/?id=mOTjAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Monark+Springs%22+%22Missouri%22&dq=%22Monark+Springs%22+%22Missouri%22 |doi= |pmid= |pmc= }} 4. ^{{cite news |title=TYPHOID CASES GROWING AFTER CAMP MEETING |newspaper=Chicago Daily Tribune |date=August 31, 1956 |url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/509720162.html?dids=509720162:509720162&FMT=CITE&FMTS=CITE:AI&type=historic&date=Aug+31%2C+1956&author=&pub=Chicago+Tribune&desc=TYPHOID+CASES+GROWING+AFTER+CAMP+MEETING&pqatl=google |accessdate=October 24, 2010}} 5. ^{{cite news |title=LINK 6 TYPHOID CASES TO CAMP; STUDY OTHERS |newspaper=Chicago Daily Tribune |date=September 5, 1956 |url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/516713622.html?dids=516713622:516713622&FMT=CITE&FMTS=CITE:AI&type=historic&date=Sep+05%2C+1956&author=&pub=Chicago+Tribune&desc=LINK+6+TYPHOID+CASES+TO+CAMP%3B+STUDY+OTHERS&pqatl=google |accessdate=October 24, 2010}} 6. ^{{cite book |title=Public health |last=Avery |first=Peter Van |year=1959 |publisher=H.W.
