Daviess County, County seat in northwestern Missouri, US
Daviess County spans 569 square miles of terrain with the Grand River flowing through its eastern section near the city of Gallatin.
The county, established in 1836, received its name from Major Joseph Hamilton Daviess, who died at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811.
The area contains a large Amish population centered in Jamesport, maintaining traditional farming practices and contributing to the local agricultural economy.
The county operates under a township system with fifteen distinct administrative divisions managing local roads, taxes, and municipal services.
The Daviess County Rotary Jail, one of three remaining circular jails in the United States, functions now as a museum in Gallatin.
