Spokane is a census-designated place in Christian County, Missouri, United States. The population was 177 at the 2010 census, but is well over 200 as of 2013. It is part of the Springfield, Missouri Metropolitan Statistical Area. The place was founded in 1893, and named after Spokane, Washington, but it is not pronounced like its namesake; instead, the "a" is long (that is, "spō-kān") and rhymes with "cane". It is hoped that by 2013 Spokane will begin the stages of organizing an incorporated city government.
Public School District
The local school district, Christian County School District #7, is also referred to as the Spokane R-VII School District [5] officially. However, quite often local residents will refer to it as the Spokane-Highlandville School District, referencing the other major town located within the districts borders.
Commerce & Trade
The local chamber of commerce is the Spokane/Highlandville Chamber of Commerce. The deux-nommés chamber denotes the strong link between Spokane, Missouri and the town of Highlandville, Missouri to the north, thus the two-named chamber of commerce. Spokane has fewer residents and encompasses less area than Highlandville to the north, but is the main location for the local public junior high and high schools, and has more commercial structures and businesses.
