Dade County, Missouri
Genealogy and History
 

Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it  online for the free use of all researchers.  We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as we can make it. If you are interested in joining our group by hosting either this county website or one of the available county websites please view our
 Volunteer Information page and Email Kim.

A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a basic webpage is required.

We'll be adding data to this site as we can.
You can help us to get this site growing by sending in your family's data.

   

This County needs a Host. Until this site has a host there is no one to answer your research questions.

 

DADE COUNTY
The Source is: P.M. Pinckard, The Missouri handbook, St. Louis, 1865, 162 pgs.
Transcribed by Donna Walton

Is situated in the south-western part of the State. The face of the country is undulating, and in some portions broken-more prairie than timber. The soil is generally fertile, and well adapted to the various purposes of agriculture, horticulture, and stock raising. Water power is abundant-upon some of the streams unimproved. Iron, copper, and coal have been found in various parts of the county, but no mine have been worked to any considerable extent. Timber enough along the valleys for practical purposes.
The mildness of the climate, abundance of native and cultivated grasses, and of stock water render this county well adapted to stock growing. Thousands of cattle have been driven from here to Utah and California. There were on the 1st of March, about 30,000 acres of government land in this county, subject to entry at the Booneville Lane Office.

Established: Jan. 29, 1841
Parent County: Barry and Polk
County Seat: Greenfield
Named After: Francis L. Dade, pioneer settler
