Needmore is an unincorporated community in Jackson Township in northern Sainte Genevieve County, Missouri, in the United States. It is situated about 12 miles northwest of Ste. Genevieve. The community was founded in 1905 by workers at the lime plant at Brickey's, Missouri. The workers had previously lived on company property, and settled Needmore to be more independent from the restrictions imposed on them by the lime plant company. Neighbors often said that the people in the new settlement were always needing more, hence the name. [4]
