Dunklin County, County in southeastern Missouri, United States.
Dunklin County is located in Missouri's Bootheel region, extending across flat farmland with the St. Francis River forming its southwestern boundary. The county remains sparsely populated, with Kennett serving as the county seat.
The county was established in 1845 and named after Daniel Dunklin, a former Missouri governor. Over time it became an agricultural and drainage area shaped by its proximity to the Mississippi Delta region.
Southern Baptist churches form the primary religious institutions across Dunklin County, with multiple congregations holding weekly services throughout the region.
The area is accessed primarily through local roads, with Kennett serving as the administrative center. Visitors should expect longer travel times between settlements and plan ahead for services in this rural region.
The lowest elevation point in Missouri sits within Dunklin County, where the St. Francis River crosses from Missouri into Arkansas.
