History

Spain held the area until 1802 when it was returned to France. Francis River and eventually into Butler County. They chose an uninhabited bluff on Black River on which to place the town that would contain their governing offices and they named it for the beautiful poplar trees that grew profusely on that bluff. The website features numerous history articles and photos, an online coloring book, puzzles, a trivia quiz and a place for Poplar Bluff area residents and former residents to share their recollections. Later, the French were the first Europeans to assert any territorial rights over the Poplar Bluff area.
