Brief
History:
Boone County is located in the
U.S. state of Missouri. Centrally located
the state's Mid-Missouri region, its
county seat is in
Columbia, which is Missouri's
fourth-largest city and location of the
University of Missouri. The county
was organized
November 16, 1820, removed from the
former larger Howard County (now to the
northwest) of the old federal Missouri
Territory of 1812-1821, and named
for the famous Western explorer and
settler of Kentucky, then recently
deceased Daniel
Boone (1734-1820), whose kin largely
populated the Boonslick area, having
arrived in the 1810s on the Boone's Lick
Road.
