Squires is an unincorporated community in Douglas County, Missouri, United States.

The Squires fire tower is located one-quarter mile to the southwest, at an elevation of 1,517 feet (462 m).

[1][3] The original Post Office application was filed by John Squire, an Englishman, who wanted to establish the Post Office of "Squire's, Missouri" to be housed in his general store.

However, in the late 19th century, Squires was a thriving community with all the prospects of becoming a decently sized town.

Nearby is a Fire Lookout Tower which is maintained and operated by the Missouri Department of Conservation.
