Neosho

Neosho sits at the western edge of Missouri's Ozark Mountains region and contains nine natural springs within its boundaries. These springs flow through the city and shape its natural landscape.

The city started in 1829 when a settler from Tennessee established residence near Shoal Creek and was formally incorporated in 1847. This founding period shaped its growth as a regional center.

The local historical museum displays artifacts and photographs that document how southwestern Missouri developed over time. The collections help visitors understand what shaped this region and its people.

A fish hatchery established in 1888 offers visitor tours where you can watch breeding programs and learn about conservation work. The facility provides hands-on education about local wildlife management.

A grape grower developed varieties here that helped save European vineyards from destruction. The French government later recognized this important contribution to wine production.
