A post office called Coffman was established in 1875, and remained in operation until 1942.[5] The community of Coffman was named after John Coffman, a nearby landowner, native of Virginia and one of Missouri's largest slave holders.[6] An earlier settlement, called New Tennessee, was located near Coffman and had been founded by Protestant American settlers, many hailing from Tennessee.[7]
Coffman is home to the Crown Valley Brewing & Distilling Co. microbrewery [8] as well as the 165 acre Crown Valley Winery.[9]
