History
A post office called Monegaw Springs was established in 1888, and remained in operation until 1953.[2] The community took its name from a mineral spring of the same name near the original town site.[3] The spring was originally named “Stinking Waters” but was later renamed Monegaw or “Owner of Much Money” in honor of Monegaw,[4] an Osage tribal leader.[5]
