Dunlap is an unincorporated community in Grundy County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

History

Variant names were "Banta", "Corneau", and "Dillon".[1] A post office called Banta was established in 1881, the name was changed to Corneau in 1882, renamed again Dunlap in 1888, and the post office closed in 1942.[2] The community most likely was named after William Dunlap, an early settler.[3]
