Pemiscot County, Administrative county seat in southeastern Missouri, United States.
Pemiscot County stretches along the Mississippi River with Caruthersville as its capital, featuring agricultural lands and river-based commercial activities.
The county, established in 1851, derives its name from the Fox language term meaning liquid mud, reflecting the characteristics of its fertile alluvial soil.
The annual Christmas Parade and Mistletoe Mart in Caruthersville brings together local vendors, artisans, and residents for a community celebration each winter.
The Caruthersville Bridge provides the only Mississippi River crossing between Cairo, Illinois and Memphis, Tennessee, connecting Missouri with Dyersburg, Tennessee.
The region experienced a significant tornado in 2006 that displaced 1,500 residents and prompted extensive reconstruction efforts throughout the county.
