Melbourne is the home for a Boeing Aircraft Plant, Century Flooring as well as Ozarka College. We're proud of our town and we've got room to grow with the right industry.

Melbourne makes a great place to begin your fun in the Ozarks. If water is your thing Melbourne is only a short drive from the world famous White River, home of record breaking trout and great river fun! A few short miles north west you will find another great trout stream, the North Fork River. And just past it is Lake Norfork, home of all kind of water sports.
