| Barry County, MO History |
 |
In the month of Feb in the year of 1835, Barry County began operation as a political subdivision of Missouri. The newly formed county contained the present counties of Barry, Lawrence, Dade, McDonald, Newton, Jasper, Barton and a part of Cedar County and came into being as the result of action by the 1834 state legislature. This new county was named in honor of Thomas Barry, who at one time was the Postmaster General in the cabinet of President Andrew Jackson.
Its first county seat was located at Mount Pleasant and was located on Clear Creek just west of present day Pierce City.
By 1845 Lawrence County was formed and so the county seat was no longer in the geographic center of Barry County, so the new seat was formed in what is now Cassville and housed in the William Kerr residence. William Kerr owned the 50 acres which encompassed the town of Cassville in 1845. |
