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.
We invite you to experience the vibrant personality of Boonville and make
it more than a first. See why it’s a great place to visit ... and
a better place to live.
