Brief History of Dunklin County
"TERRITORY OF MISSOURI.
Congress organized the Territory of Missouri, June 4, 1812. The first Council consisted of nine members,
and the House of thirteen. "Territory of Louisiana" comprised its real boundary, yet it practically con-
sisted of only the settled parts of Missouri, as follows : Cape Girardeau, embracing the territory between
Tywappity Bottom and Apple Creek, Ste. Genevieve, extending from Apple Creek to the Meramec River,
St. Louis', including that part of the State between the Meramec and Missouri rivers, St. Charles,
comprising the settled country between the Missouri and Mississippi.
In October of the same year, these four districts were reorganized into five counties, by proclamation of
Gov. Howard. The fifth was called New Madrid, and included Arkansas, therefore the present site of Dunklin County."
