Henry County, County administrative division in Missouri, United States
Henry County is an administrative division in western Missouri covering about 700 square miles with gently rolling terrain. The landscape consists primarily of farmland and scattered rural communities connected by country roads.
The state legislature established this county in 1834 and named it after Patrick Henry, Virginia's first governor and Revolutionary War figure. Early settlement focused on farming and small-scale industrial operations that shaped the region's development.
The county reflects the heritage of pioneer settlers whose way of life still shapes the communities you see today. Agriculture remains central to how people live and work across the region.
The county administration is based in Clinton where you can handle official business during regular working hours. Because it is a rural area, having a car makes getting around significantly easier.
Beneath the county lies a system of underground limestone caves formed over millions of years that locals use as natural storage spaces with year-round cool temperatures. Few visitors realize this geological feature exists right under their feet.
