Description
Cooper County, organized in 1818, was named after Sarshall and Benjamin Cooper. Boonville, the County Seat, is the largest community in Cooper County. Since the beginning many of the communities have had some tough times with the floods and the invention of more efficient trains that required fewer stops. Today however much of Cooper County is prime agricultural land. It only takes a leisurely stroll on the Katy Trail to see the county's beauty. Cooper County is scattered with many small businesses from local bread bakers to barn quilt makers. The county is alive with history, as it is the site of some early civil war battles, along with the first official state fair location. It is also a spot on the Lewis and Clark trail and has prospered from being a county adjacent to the Missouri River.
