Worth County is the kind of place where horizons run long and neighbors know your name. Along the Iowa line and edged by Nodaway County, Gentry County, and Harrison County, it offers quiet roads, fertile fields, and a pace that lets you breathe.
Daily life revolves around its small communities—Grant City, Allendale, and Sheridan—where Friday nights, school events, and local businesses anchor community pride. Families appreciate the personal attention in local schools and the chance for students to plug into FFA, arts, and athletics, with dual-credit options through Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville.
If you thrive outdoors, you’re set. Cast a line or paddle at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park, watch migrating eagles and waterfowl at Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge, or spend a weekend under the stars at Big Lake State Park. Everyday services are close by, from groceries and hardware to quality healthcare at Harrison County Community Hospital in Bethany. With one of the state’s smallest populations, according to U.S. Census QuickFacts, residents enjoy elbow room without losing access to essentials.
