Loma Linda is a town in Newton County, Missouri, United States.
The village, a collection of homes and properties surrounding the golf course and country club of the name, was incorporated in 1995.
Loma Linda Country Club was created by Joe Blau of New York and the late Ted Hoffman in 1971.
[citation needed] On January 1, 2006, the course, Village Water Company, and the surrounding 2,500 acres (10 km2) area were sold to Joplin businessman Bobby Landis.
Landis had acquired the resort and apartment complex of Loma Linda by the end of 2005.
[citation needed] In 2007, the Country Club was sold to the Downstream Casino and Resort[4] owned and operated by the Quapaw Tribe.
The tribe also owns a casino less than a mile west of the Loma Linda property.
About 1.2% of families and 1.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including none of those under the age of eighteen or sixty-five or over.
