Enough is a ghost town in northern Iron County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

The town was located on the banks of Big River[2] just south of Council Bluff Lake.

History

A post office called Enough was established in 1916, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1937.[3] The community was named by postal officials who then informed the postmaster that his hundreds of naming suggestions were "enough".[4][5]
