Route 90 at its intersection with
U.S. Route 71. The original settlement is approximately one mile east on an older alignment of US 71. It had been an unincorporated community for many years, and previously had the ZIP code of 64846, though rural delivery is currently managed from the post office in
Anderson. Jane now shares the ZIP code of 64856 with
Pineville, the county seat, and the post office which had previously been charged with rural mail delivery prior to its scaling back of operations.
Jane re-incorporated in 2005 after a petition-drive of local residents, in order to block possible annexation by Pineville, five miles to the northwest. Pineville had greatly expanded the city limit with the opening of the widened US 71 (later named Interstate 49) highway, to its west. In 2006, the village of Jane again expanded southward from its original boundaries to include a large section of US 71 at the behest of the McDonald County planning commission. It now extends south to within a half-mile of the
