Brief
History:
Pulaski County is a county
located in the U.S. state of Missouri. Its
county seat is Waynesville. The county was
organized in 1833 and named for
Kazimierz Pulaski, a Polish patriot who
died fighting in the American
Revolution.
Pulaski County's earliest settlers
were the Quapaw, Missouria and Osage
Native Americans. After the Lewis and
Clark Expedition of the early 19th
century, white settlers came to the area,
many from Kentucky, Tennessee and the
Carolinas; the earliest pioneers
appeared to have settled as early as 1818,
and the town of Waynesville was
designated the county seat by the
Missouri Legislature in 1833. Like the
county, Waynesville is also named after an
American Revolutionary hero, Mad
Anthony Wayne.
