Scott County is located in the southeastern region of the great state of Missouri. The county was officially organized on December 28, 1821, making it one of the earliest counties in the state. It was named in honor of General Winfield Scott, a notable figure in the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War.
Originally inhabited by Native American tribes like the Mississippian Culture and later, the Osage and Quapaw tribes, Scott County was first explored by Europeans in the late 1600s. French and Spanish traders traversed the region before it was acquired by the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
In the early 19th century, the area experienced a significant influx of settlers, primarily from the Upland South states like Kentucky and Tennessee, who brought their farming and agricultural practices with them. The growth of the cotton industry in Scott County contributed to the development of a plantation culture, with numerous plantations and farms dotting the landscape.
The Civil War led to a period of turmoil for Scott County, as it was situated along the Mississippi River, a major strategic location. The region faced battles and raids, with both Union and Confederate forces vying for control. After the war, the county's economy shifted towards mixed agriculture and industry. Construction of railroads connected Scott County to other parts of Missouri and facilitated the growth of trade and commerce.
Today, Scott County is known for its rich cultural history and agricultural contributions. The county's largest city, Sikeston, is well-known for the Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo, one of the largest outdoor rodeos in the United States. The event attracts thousands of visitors to the area every August, showcasing professional rodeo athletes and providing entertainment through live music performances.
Fun fact: Scott County boasts a quirky attraction known as the "UFO Welcome Center" located in the town of Morley. It is a large, UFO-shaped structure built by a local resident that has become an offbeat roadside attraction for travelers passing through.
