Founded in 1882, Advance, Missouri is a city located in Stoddard County, Missouri. The population was 1,347 as of the 2010 census.
Advance was a city formed in large part due to the construction of the Old Frisco Railroad in northern Stoddard County. The railroad was completed in 1884. The owner of a cotton plantation, Captain W. H. Whitwell (of Mexican War fame), dedicated 60 acres that would become the City of Advance. By 1911, Advance was a growing railroad town of 621 people with lumber and cotton as major industries.
