   Jasper County Data



 Brief History:
 
 
Jasper County is located in the southwest portion of the U.S. state of Missouri. Its county seat is Carthage, and its largest
 city is Joplin.  The county was organized in 1841 and named for William Jasper, a hero of the American Revolutionary War.

 Before European contact, the area that today makes up Jasper County was the domain of the Osage Native Americans, who
 called themselves the  "Children of the Middle Waters" (Ni-U-Kon-Ska). A Siouan language tribe, they had migrated west
 and south centuries before from the Ohio Valley.
