Monett is the most-populous city in the Barry and Lawrence counties in the U.S. state of Missouri. The city is located in the Ozarks, just south of Interstate 44 amongst Joplin and Springfield. According to the 2020 census, the population of the town was estimated to be 9,576 individuals.

Southwest Missouri, including the area of what is now Monett, was inhabited by Native Americans of the Osage Nation until their goaded removal to Indian Territory.

Monett was created as a railroad town by the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway (“Frisco Line”), which was outstretched into the Place in 1870, and a branch line going to Paris, Texas, was built. Both lines are yet in existence and operated by the BNSF Railway. During this era the area went through several names including Kings Prairie Depot, Plymouth, Plymouth Junction (when the southern branch was built in 1880), Gonten (named for the local postmaster because the Post Service said there were extra Plymouths); and finally Monett in 1887 when the Place was formally platted and the Monett herald was applied to the declare office. It was named for Henry Monett who was a popular general station agent for various railroads including the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad (“Nickel Plate Railroad”) before becoming an agent for the New York Central Railroad brusquely before his death at the age of 35 in 1888.
