The intrigue of a river town, a diversified business economy and incredible historic grandeur combine with a secure and productive lifestyle in this prosperous central Missouri community.

Boonville is a place where the residents of today continue to build upon the solid foundation laid down by those who came before them. Situated where the Ozark uplands meet the western prairies, Boonville boasts many beginnings: it had the first paved streets west of St. Louis and was the first permanent European settlement on the south side of the Missouri River west of St. Charles. Boonville also became the starting point of the Santa Fe Trail (after the demise of the historic town of Franklin just across the Missouri River) in 1828, and it was the site of the first Missouri State Fair. Today, Boonville continues its tradition of leadership and excellence. Boonville’s school system has earned the distinction of being one of Missouri’s elite A+ schools. Downtown Boonville, Inc., one of the first five pilot programs in the Missouri Main Street Program, provides progressive leadership that is making the city thrive.
