Johnson County is located in the west-central part of Missouri and was officially established on December 13, 1834. Named after Vice President Richard Mentor Johnson, it is part of the greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area. Spanning approximately 833 square miles, the county seat is Warrensburg.
Originally, the area was inhabited by Native American tribes, such as the Osage and Missouria. European-American settlers began moving into the region during the early 19th century, attracted by fertile lands and desirable farming conditions. In 1833, Martin Warren, one of the early settlers, established Warrensburg, which became a key transportation hub due to its proximity to the Missouri Pacific Railroad.
The county saw significant development in the latter half of the 19th century because of the construction of railroads and the growth of the coal mining industry. In this era, Johnson County enjoyed prosperity through its agricultural and mining activities. Throughout the 20th century, farming remained a significant economic sector in the region, with the county comprising mainly of rural areas and small towns.
A fun fact about Johnson County is that it is home to the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, which was founded in 1871 as the Normal School for the education of teachers. In 1896, Missouri Governor L. V. Stephens signed a bill to establish the first experimental farm at the school, which later became known as the Federal Mule Farm. The Mule Farm was influential in breeding and raising high quality mules, which played a crucial role during World War I and World War II. This ultimately led to Johnson County and Warrensburg earning the nickname "Home of the Mules."
