Boone County is located in theU.S. state ofMissouri. Centrally located the state'sMid-Missouri region, itscounty seat is inColumbia, which is Missouri's fourth-largest city and location of theUniversity of Missouri. As of the2020 U.S. census, the county's population was listed as 183,610,[1] making it the state's eighth-most populous county orcounty equivalent. The county was organized November 16, 1820, removed from the former largerHoward County (now to the northwest) of the old federalMissouri Territory of 1812-1821, and named for the famous Western explorer and settler ofKentucky, then recently deceasedDaniel Boone (1734-1820), whose kin largely populated theBoonslick area, having arrived in the1810s on theBoone's Lick Road.[2]
Boone County comprises theColumbia Metropolitan Area. The towns ofAshland andCentralia are the second and third most populous towns in the county.
Boone County was organized November 16, 1820, from a separated portion of the larger territorialHoward County, first designated under the former federalLouisiana Territory (1804-1812) and subsequent successorMissouri Territory (1812-1821). The central region of the state is known asMid-Missouri and is also known as the cultural area ofBoonslick orBoone's Lick Country, because of a nearbysalt spring or "lick" which famedWesternAmerican frontier explorer, pioneer, settlerDaniel Boone's (1734-1820) sons,Daniel Morgan Boone (1769-1839), and youngerNathan Boone (1780-1856), used for their animals stock.
Boone County was settled primarily from theUpper South states ofKentucky,Tennessee and further east ofVirginia. The settlers broughtslaves and idea of slave-holding with them, and quickly started cultivating crops similar to those inMiddle Tennessee and the bluegrass state of Kentucky: hemp and tobacco. Boone was one of several counties to the north and south of the diagonal flowing southwestwardMissouri River that was settled by mostlySoutherners. Because of its culture and traditions, the area became known asLittle Dixie, and Boone County was at its heart.[3] In 1860 slaves made up 25 percent or more of the county's population, Boone County was strongly pro-Confederacy during theAmerican Civil War (1861-1865).[4]
Shortly after theassassination / murder in April 1865, of 16th PresidentAbraham Lincoln (1809-1865, served 1861-1865), the leading citizens of the county and its county seat town denounced the killing. They also directed that all public buildings including the county courthouse and the nearby state university be draped in black mourning for thirty days.[5]
According to theU.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 691 square miles (1,790 km2), of which 685 square miles (1,770 km2) is land and 5.6 square miles (15 km2) (0.8%) is water.[6] TheMissouri River makes up the southern border of the county.
