The community is located just east of U.S. Route 63 (on old 63) approximately 4.5 miles north of Rolla. The Macedonia Church and cemetery lie one mile to the north.[3]
A post office called Macedonia was established in 1890, and remained in operation until 1917.[4] The community took its name from the local Macedonia Baptist Church.[5]
