Name

Ozora is located about a quarter of a mile from the earlier settlement of New Bremen, which had been settled by Germans and named after the port they had sailed from. In 1901 three names were submitted: New Bremen (because of the nearby community), Ida and Ozark. Since there was already an Ozark post office in Christian County, the name Ozora was coined from the word Ozark.[4]

Community

Ozora is home to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and a Catholic elementary school. [5]
