History

From the depths of Arkansas, settlers began their journey in the late 1700s to a place they called Ozarks. Henry Schoolcraft was among those pioneers and made his way there in 1818 where he studied its geological makeup with an emphasis on minerals such as lead and zinc. But what truly amazed him was Elk Valley’s abundance of elk, bear, and other wildlife – leading it to become one of America’s earliest hunting grounds until hunters eventually drove them into extinction by the 1880s.

Frequently asked questions about Ozark, Missouri

What is Ozark most famous for?

The Ozark region is known for an abundance of sparkling springs, waterfalls, lakes, caves, caverns, and sinks (also known as karstic landforms). In addition, there are many manmade landmarks, such as the Lake of the Ozarks.

Why is it called the Ozarks?

The word “Ozark” derives from the corrupted French “aux-arcs,” a shortened form of a term probably meaning “to [or toward] Arkansas Post” or referring to the area where the Arkansas (Quapaw) Indians resided near this early French post in the Arkansas River delta.

Why is Lake of the Ozarks so famous?

Missouri’s most popular lake destination features more than 1,100 miles of shoreline – that’s more shoreline than the coast of California. The Lake of the Ozarks offers access to public beaches, great fishing, and plenty of room for fun and recreation on the water.
