Success is an unincorporated community in Texas County, Missouri, United States.[1] It is located approximately twelve miles northwest of Houston at the southern intersection of Routes 17 and 32.[2]
The first settlement at Success was made in 1880.[3] The nearby original town site is today officially known as "Old Success"[4] and is located about one mile to the north.[2] A post office called Success has been in operation since 1880.[5] Founders of the community most likely named it "Success" in order to promote a mineral spa established there.[6]
