In the Beginning - There was the Land

One of the first things we need to understand about Hillsboro, MO. is: How did we become Hillsboro?  Where did we come from, what are our roots and why do all these places, we know so well, have these funny names?

This is an excellent article about the "History of Jefferson County" from Mark S. Abeln.  Mark is a photographer among many other things, and was the photographer for the book "Catholic St. Louis: A Pictorial History".  Originally, St. Louis was called the "Rome of the West".
