Asper, Missouri

Asper is an extinct town in Carroll County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.^[1]

The community had the name of a local family.^[2] A post office called Asper was established in 1880, and remained in operation until 1903.^[3] The closure of the post office caused business activity to shift to other nearby places, and Asper's population dwindled.^[2]
