Cedar County, County in southwest Missouri, United States.
Cedar County is a county in southwest Missouri with forests, lakes, and river systems throughout its territory. The landscape features mixed woodlands and multiple water bodies that define the region's character.
The county was established in 1845 as the region developed westward. During the Civil War, military forces transformed parts of the landscape, leaving marks that shaped the county's path forward.
Baptist and Methodist churches anchor the religious life of the county and serve as gathering places in most towns. These institutions remain central to local identity and community activities.
Several state and federal routes connect the county and provide access to different communities. These roads form the main transportation framework for getting around the area.
El Dorado Springs and Jerico Springs became popular destinations in the 1880s due to natural mineral springs. These water sources drew crowds seeking their supposed therapeutic properties.
