Sweet Home cemetery northeast of Ravenwood, Missouri

Sweet Home is an extinct hamlet in Nodaway County, Missouri, in the United States.[1] It was situated 12 miles east of Maryville and 2.5 miles east of the Platte River.[2][3][4][5] Other sources erroneously place Sweet Home west of the Platte River.[6][7][8]

A post office named Sweet Home was established in 1864,[3] and was the first town in Jackson Township.[9] With the establishment of Ravenwood, Missouri in the 1880s the hamlet diminished. The post office was closed in 1890.[10]
