Brief
History:
Pike County is a county on the
eastern border of the U.S. state of
Missouri, bounded by the Mississippi
River. Its county seat
is Bowling Green. Its namesake was a
city in middle Kentucky, a region from
where many early migrants came. The county
was organized December 14, 1818, and
named for explorer Zebulon Pike. The
folksong "Sweet Betsy from Pike" is
generally
thought to be associated with Pike
County, Missouri.
