Cape Girardeau County is located in the southeastern part of the great state of Missouri. Its county seat is Jackson, while the largest city is Cape Girardeau. The county was officially organized on October 1, 1812, making it one of the five original counties in Missouri.

The county's history can be traced back to the indigenous Mississippian culture, which was based around the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. Later, French explorers visited the region during the late 17th century. In the 18th century, the area witnessed a mix of French, British, and Spanish rule.

The county is named after Jean Baptiste de Girardot, a French officer who established a temporary trading post and fort, called "Le Cap" (The Cape) in 1733, at the site now known as Cape Girardeau. The region became part of the United States in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase and saw a significant influx of American settlers after the War of 1812.

Cape Girardeau County has played an essential role in Missouri's history, including its contributions during the Civil War, with both Union and Confederate forces fighting for control over the strategically vital river port.

One fun fact about Cape Girardeau County is that it is home to the Trail of Tears State Park, which commemorates the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans in the 1830s along the infamous Trail of Tears. The park offers a glimpse into the history and culture of the region, with various hiking trails, interpretive centers, and beautiful landscapes for visitors to explore.
