Ozora, Missouri

Ozora is an unincorporated community and census-designated place located in Beauvais Township in Sainte Genevieve County, Missouri, United States. Ozora is located approximately eight miles south of Sainte Genevieve.

Etymology

Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church

Ozora is located approximately one-quarter of a mile from the earlier settlement of New Bremen, which had been settled by Germans and named after the port they had sailed from. In 1901, three names were submitted: New Bremen (because of the nearby community), Ida and Ozark. Since there was already an Ozark post office in Christian County, the name Ozora was coined from the word Ozark.

Community

Ozora is home to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and a Catholic elementary school.
