Brixey, Missouri
Brixey is a former unincorporated community in northern Ozark County, Missouri, United States.[2] It is located 1.6 miles (2.6 km) south of Route 95 on Route N or approximately 10 miles (16 km) north of Gainesville.[1][3] The store and post office, along with houses along the main road, have been vacant and boarded up for several years as of 2023; there may still be a home or two within the community limits on the back roads, as the Brixeyj name and zip code is still in use for mailings.
A post office called Brixey was in operation from 1917 to some time early in the 21st century,[4] although its zip code, 65618, is still in use. The country store, in which it was housed, closed at the same time.[5] A variant spelling was "Brixy".[2] The community takes its name from nearby Brixey Creek[6]
