Dogwood is an unincorporated community in Mississippi County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1]
A variant name was "Sands". [1] A post office called Sands was established in 1902, and remained in operation until 1908. [2] Besides the post office, the community contained the Dogwood School. [3] The community derives its present name from a grove of dogwood trees which stood near the schoolhouse. [4]
