About Missouri

Missouri touches eight other states, a count only Tennessee matches. The Missouri River crosses it from Kansas City to the Mississippi just north of St. Louis. North of the river are rolling plains and farmland, and to the south rise the wooded hills of the Ozarks. In the far southeast, the flat Bootheel juts south along the Mississippi. Missouri became the 24th state in 1821, and St. Charles served as its temporary capital until 1826.

Kansas City and St. Louis, at opposite ends of the state, are its two big cities. Other towns began as French river villages, lead mining camps, railroad stops and county seats. In the 1800s, German immigrants planted the vineyards along the Missouri River and built the breweries of St. Louis.

Greater St. Louis

St. Louis began as a French trading post in 1764, and the Gateway Arch, finished in 1965, now rises on that riverfront. The city's suburbs fill St. Louis County and spread across the Missouri River into St. Charles County. Lewis and Clark set out up the Missouri from St. Charles in 1804. Upriver, Augusta became the country's first official wine region in 1980, and Washington has made corncob pipes since 1869.

Kansas City and West Central Missouri

Kansas City grew from a river landing where the Kansas River meets the Missouri. Jazz thrived in its 18th and Vine district in the 1920s and 1930s. Independence was the main starting point for the Santa Fe, Oregon and California trails, and Harry Truman's home there was known as the Summer White House. Out in the farm country, Warrensburg has a statue of Old Drum, a foxhound whose 1870 court case produced a famous speech about dogs.

Northern Missouri

Northern Missouri is rolling farm country, shaped by glaciers long ago, that runs from St. Joseph on the Missouri River to Hannibal on the Mississippi. The Pony Express set out from St. Joseph in 1860, and its old stables are now a museum. Mark Twain grew up in Hannibal, the model for St. Petersburg in Tom Sawyer. Andrew Taylor Still opened the first school of osteopathy in Kirksville in 1892, and a Chillicothe bakery sold the first machine-sliced bread in 1928.

Mid-Missouri

Mid-Missouri follows the Missouri River from Arrow Rock to Hermann, with Columbia and Jefferson City as its biggest cities. The University of Missouri in Columbia, founded in 1839, was the first public university west of the Mississippi. In 1946, Winston Churchill gave his Iron Curtain speech at Westminster College in Fulton, where a Christopher Wren church from London was later rebuilt stone by stone. German settlers founded Hermann in 1837, and Stone Hill Winery opened there in 1847.

Springfield and the Ozarks

The Ozarks are an old, worn plateau of steep wooded hills, clear springs and caves, with Springfield as the biggest city. A 1907 novel set near Branson, The Shepherd of the Hills, drew thousands of visitors to the town. Bagnell Dam created the Lake of the Ozarks in 1931, and Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote her Little House books on her farm near Mansfield. In 1964, the Current and Jacks Fork rivers became the nation's first national scenic riverways.

Joplin and Southwest Missouri

Southwest Missouri runs from the prairie around Lamar to the Ozark hills on the Arkansas line. Joplin grew from lead mining camps of the early 1870s and became a center of lead and zinc mining. Harry Truman was born in Lamar in 1884, and Carthage's stone courthouse from 1895 still stands on its square. Near Diamond, the farm where George Washington Carver grew up became the first national monument to an African American in 1943.

Southeast Missouri and the Bootheel

Southeast Missouri runs from the ancient, rocky St. Francois Mountains down to the Bootheel, where Sikeston and Kennett sit among flat fields of cotton and rice. French settlers founded Ste. Genevieve around 1750, and several of their houses built of upright logs still stand. Cape Girardeau grew from a trading post that Louis Lorimier opened on the Mississippi in the 1790s. Inland, Bonne Terre and Park Hills grew up around the mines of the Old Lead Belt.
