Fagus is an unincorporated community in southeastern Butler County, Missouri. It is located on Route 51 about twenty one miles southeast of Poplar Bluff near the Arkansas state line. The community was founded by lumberman William N. Barron after the Latin word for "beech tree". Although he named it for the European beech native to his home country of England, he was surprised to actually find beeches growing in the area.
