Junland is an unincorporated community in Butler County in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]
Junland is located at the junction of Missouri routes B (old Route 60) and Z, five miles east of Poplar Bluff. It was a station on the Missouri Pacific Railroad.[2]
The name Junland is a shortened alteration of "jungleland," descriptive of the condition of the original town site.[3]
On January 29, 2013, an EF2 tornado struck Junland. The storm leveled a small, older, poorly constructed home, destroyed a mobile home, and blew over several small structures. Many trees were also snapped along the path.[4]
