Bayouville is an unincorporated community in New Madrid County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

History

A post office called Bayouville was established in 1900, and remained in operation until 1930.[2] The community was so named on account of bayous near the original town site.[3]

Bayouville contains the St. Johns-Laplant IV Archeological District, a prehistoric Native American site listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
