History

The town was platted after the society sold shares in the 11,300 acres (45.73 km²) of Gasconade River valley land it had purchased. It was promoted by the enthusiasm of Gottfried Duden, who wrote about the area in his 'Bericht über eine Reise nach den westlichen Staaten Nord Amerikas' ('Report of a Journey to the Western States of Northern America'). An early party of settlers was led by George Bayer (pioneer) Bayer and Edward Hermann, who bought the land and is considered by many to be the founder of the town. The city was founded by the Deutsche Ansiedlungs-Gesellschaft zu Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (German Settlement Society of Philadelphia) in the 1830s. .
