Sentinel is an unincorporated community in northern Polk County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

History
[edit | edit source]A post office called Sentinel was established in 1899, and remained in operation until 1955.[3] The community most likely was so named on account of the site being a landmark (or sentinel) in the area.[4]
