Kaiser is an unincorporated community in Miller County in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1] [2] It is located on a county road just south of Route 42/ 134. The zip code is 65047.

A post office called Kaiser has been in operation since 1904. [3] The community was named after the local Kaiser family. [4] With America's entry into World War I and the anti-German hysteria that followed, some residents proposed changing the name of the community to Success. However, after some debate, the plan failed. [5]
