Carter County Summary
County History
Carter County is located in the southeastern corner of Missouri and is part of the Ozark Plateau. It was established in 1859 and named after Zimri A. Carter, a prominent local politician. The county was originally part of Ripley County, but was split off in 1859 due to its large population.
The first settlers in the area were Native Americans, who lived in the area for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. The first Europeans to settle in the area were French trappers and traders, who arrived in the late 1700s. The area was then part of the Louisiana Purchase, and was part of the Missouri Territory until 1821, when it became part of the state of Missouri.
The county was largely rural until the early 1900s, when the timber industry began to boom. The timber industry brought jobs and economic growth to the area, and the population began to grow rapidly. The county seat, Van Buren, was established in 1859 and is the oldest town in the county.
The county was largely agricultural until the 1950s, when the timber industry began to decline. The county then shifted to a more diversified economy, with manufacturing, tourism, and other industries becoming more important.
