Fanning is an unincorporated community in western Crawford County, Missouri, United States.[1] It lies along former U.S. Route 66, now Missouri Supplemental Route ZZ, four miles southwest of Cuba.[2] Fanning is also home to the world's second largest rocking chair, located outside of the Fanning 66 Outpost.[3]
A post office called Fanning was established in 1887, and remained in operation until 1953.[4] Fanning is named for John Fanning (1821-1906), originally of Limerick, Ireland.[5] John Fanning was the founding railway section foreman beginning in the mid-19th century when the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway (Frisco) was first built through the region.[5] His home, which still stands in Fanning, was for many decades the railway station, church, post office, and social center of the community.[5]
