Branson is a city in Stone and Taney Counties in the U.S. state of Missouri. Most of the city is in Taney County, with a small portion in the west extending into Stone County. Branson is in the Ozark Mountains. The community was named after Ruben Branson, postmaster and operator of a general store in the area in the 1880s.
Reuben Branson lived to see much change in his namesake town. He died in Forsyth in 1935. While most of the Branson family members have left the White River Valley, there is a grandson of Reuben's brother, Lewis, still residing on one of the farms the Bransons homesteaded in Taney County. He is Albert Branson, whose farm is on bottom land a short distance above Highway K Boat Dock.
