What to Do in Joplin

Following the Civil War, mining companies that had established smelters along the Joplin Creek Valley engaged in fierce rivalry, splitting the town into two factions controlled by competing companies. The valley endured a reign of terror until the state general assembly came to the rescue in 1873 and reincorporated the two towns as the city of Joplin.
