Hart is an unincorporated community in northwest McDonald County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] The community is located along Missouri Route 43, north of Tiff City and less than one-half mile east of the Missouri - Oklahoma border.[2]

History

A post office called Hart was established in 1883, and remained in operation until 1911.[3] Phillip Rinehart, an early postmaster, most likely gave the community a syllable of his last name.[4] An older source maintains the community has the name of W. B. Hart, a pioneer citizen.[5]
