Rocky Comfort is an unincorporated community in northeastern McDonald County, Missouri, United States, on Route 76. It is very near the point where McDonald, Newton, and Barry Counties meet.〔http://ims.er.usgs.gov/gda_services/download?item_id=5587462&quad=Rocky%20Comfort&state=MO&grid=7.5X7.5&series=TNM%20GeoPDF〕 Several homes and a post office are located here. It is part of the Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers, AR-MO Metropolitan Statistical Area. The community is mentioned in Dennis Murphy's poem of 1941, ''The Doomed Race,'' and is both title and setting for Wayne Holmes' 2009 memoir, ''Rocky Comfort.'' From 1902 to 1908, when it moved to nearby Fairview, Missouri, the Horner Institute, a private school offering courses from the eighth grade through high school, was located in Rocky Comfort.
