Success is an unincorporated community in Texas County, Missouri, United States. It is located approximately twelve miles northwest of Houston at the southern intersection of Routes 17 and 32.[1]
The first settlement at Success was made in 1880.[2] The nearby original town site is today officially known as "Old Success" and is located about one mile to the north.[1] A post office called Success has been in operation since 1880.[3] Founders of the community most likely named it "Success" in order to promote a mineral spa established there.[4]
The Success R-VI School District has a K-8 enrollment.[5] The students attend Houston, Plato and Licking for high school.
