Joplin, Regional center in southwestern Missouri, United States
Located at the intersection of Interstate 44 and Interstate 49, Joplin spans across 35 square miles in Jasper and Newton counties at 306 meters elevation.
The discovery of lead deposits in Joplin Creek Valley after the Civil War transformed the area into a mining settlement, named after Reverend Harris G. Joplin.
The city maintains several performance venues and art galleries, while the Joplin History and Mineral Museum presents exhibits about local mining heritage.
The Joplin Regional Airport connects travelers to major destinations, with the city offering over 200 restaurants and numerous accommodation options for visitors.
Grand Falls, located within city limits, stands as Missouri's largest continuously flowing natural waterfall, dropping 12 feet across a 163-foot-wide ledge.
