About the area |
Augusta is located on the flat plain above the Missouri River Valley. The town was founded around 1836 by one of the settlers who followed Daniel Boone to the area. This settler laid out the town, then called Mount Pleasant, on government land he had purchased. At incorporation, around 1855, the town was renamed Augusta. The town prospered producing crops of grain and wine grapes as well as breeding and growing livestock. Soon afterwards trade also increased with the presence of craftsmen, merchants, hotels and wineries. Although there was a boat landing here; in the 1870's the Missouri River cut a new channel eliminated this, however the several hundred acres of fertile river bottom land created helped to increase the town's agricultural economy. |
