Fordland is a city in southern Webster County, Missouri, United States. The population was 800 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Springfield, Missouri Metropolitan Statistical Area.

History

Fordland was platted in 1882.[3] The community has the name of J. S. Ford, a railroad official.[4] A post office called Fordland has been in operation since 1882.[5]

Geography

Fordland is located on the southeastern edge of the Springfield Plateau in the Ozarks of south central Missouri. The village is located along U.S. Route 60 between Diggins, four miles to the east and Rogersville, 6.5 miles to the southwest.[6]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|1.11|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all land.[7]

Due to favorable geographical conditions (e.g., altitude—Fordland is approximately 300 feet higher in elevation than Springfield), numerous Springfield-based media outlets, such as KYTV, KOLR, KOZL-TV, KGHZ, and others, have located their transmitting towers in or near Fordland.
