Udall is an unincorporated community in the Bayou I Township of Ozark County, in southern Missouri, United States, located approximately 12 miles southeast of Gainesville and eight miles west of Bakersfield on Missouri Route O. One and one-half miles west of Udall, the road ends at a park and landing on Norfork Lake.[1]
An early variant name was "Saint Leger".[2] A post office called Saint Leger was established in 1848, the name was changed to Udall in 1885, and the post office closed in 2003.[3] According to legend, the present name Udall is a contraction of "You doll, get up", a command, the story continues, was once overheard directed at a horse.
