Hiram is an unincorporated community in eastern Wayne County, Missouri, United States.

History

A post office called Hiram was established in 1900, and remained in operation until 1994.[3] The community was named after Hiram Holliday, a businessman in the local lumber industry at Greenville.[4]

Hiram was approximately midway on Holiday's 17 mile railroad spur running from Greenville (the county seat) to Cascade located in the northeast corner of the county. This spur transported most all of the virgin pine timber of the northeast portion of Wayne County between 1880 and 1910.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
