Roanoke is an unincorporated community in Howard and Randolph counties, in the U.S. state of Missouri. [1]
The first settlement at Roanoke was made in 1836. [2] The community took its name from Roanoke Plantation, in Virginia, the native state of a first settler. [3] A post office was established on the Randolph County side in 1838, where it remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1871. [4]
The Finks-Harvey Plantation was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. [5]
