Tightwad, Missouri

Tightwad is a village in Henry County, Missouri, United States. Its population was 64 at the 2010 United States Census.
==History and name==
Located astride Missouri Route 7, Tightwad was an unincorporated location until 1984; however, a U.S. Post Office had existed there at the turn of the 20th century. The village's unusual name is said to stem from an episode in which a store owner cheated a customer, who was a postman, by charging him an extra fifty cents for a better watermelon. Some sources claim the transaction involved a rooster rather than a watermelon.〔Margot Ford McMillen, Paris, Tightwad, and Peculiar: Missouri Place Names, University of Missouri Press (October 1994), ISBN 0-8262-0972-6. Excerpt online at http://www.umsystem.edu/upress/otherbooks/mcmillen.htm〕
Due to its proximity to Truman Reservoir, Tightwad saw some limited growth starting in the mid-1980s. As of 2010, the village's business district included a bank (see below), café, tavern, and convenience store.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What's So Funny About Tightwad's Money? )
