About the area |
Before any settlers came to the area, it was inhabited by Native Americans for approximately 10,000 years. At the beginning of the 1800's, Daniel Boone's sons found the salt lick in present day Howard County, just across the river. They settled in Cooper county and set up shop and the town originally came to be known as Booneâs Lick. A few years later a widow and her nine children homesteaded the Boonslick area. Then around 1817 the town was laid out and prospered as home to river trade and a jumping-off point for the Santa Fe Trail. Not until around the beginning of 1839 was the city incorporated. Several of the old buildings still remain; Thespian Hall circa 1855 is still an operating theater, the Old Cooper County jail and hanging barn is open for tours, the Sumner School, originally an African American public school is currently used as a community center, Hain House and Memorial Garden is a good example of 1819 architecture and Roslyn Heights, circa 1895, is now the state headquarters for the Missouri State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. |
