History


Originally known as Linchpin, the crossroads of highways 13 and 76 was officially called Lakeview until February 25, 1992, when the city officially changed its name to Branson West in an effort to capitalize on the explosive growth of neighboring Branson. The bid initially paid off as the population of Branson West grew from 37 to 408 between 1990 and 2000; growth has since tapered off, mostly due to the town's isolation and lack of nearby amenities.
