Thuroy is an unincorporated community in Ozark County, Missouri, United States. The village was located on a northward-flowing tributary to Barren Creek, approximately one-half mile from the Missouri-Arkansas border and Missouri State Highway 101. Bakersfield is about four miles to the northeast. Barren Creek flows into Norfork Lake in Arkansas, approximately four miles to the southwest.[1] [2]
A post office called Thuroy was established in 1927, and remained in operation until 1936.[3] The community derives its name from Thursey Marshal, an early settler (a postal error accounts for the error in spelling, which was never corrected).[4]
