Beemont is an unincorporated community in western Franklin County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] The community is located on Missouri Route ZZ on the west side of Boeuf Creek one half mile east of the Franklin-Gasconade county line.[2]
History
A post office called Beemont was established in 1878, and remained in operation until 1915.[3] The community was so named in jest because its few businesses were said to be as "busy as a bee".[4]
