the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Located in the Ozark Mountains, Shell Knob was established in 1835 on the banks of the White River when Henry and Elizabeth Yoachum Schell built a trading post. The "c" was left off the name when the post office was established in 1872. The Schells left in 1846 and went on to establish the community of Jacket, Missouri. In 1959, Table Rock Dam was completed and Table Rock Lake filled.

Today Shell Knob is an active lake resort area with a population of more than 1,200.
