Ozark, Missouri
Ozark is a city in and the county seat of Christian County, Missouri. Its population was 21,284 as of the 2020 census. Ozark is also the third largest city in the Springfield, Missouri Metropolitan Area, and is centered along a business loop of US 65, where it intersects with MO 14.
Ozark was named after the Ozark Mountains, in which it is situated. The Ozark Courthouse Square Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
The name Ozarks is believed to have begun sometime in the late 1700s or early 1800s from those living in the Arkansas area who were heading north and said they were going to the Ozarks.
The first settler to visit the area is believed to be Henry Schoolcraft, who arrived in 1818. During that time he extensively studied the geological makeup of the area and noted the high concentration of lead and zinc. Notably, in the Elk Valley area. Schoolcraft noted on the abundance of elk, bear and other wildlife in the area. This later became the area's hunting grounds, until the elk were hunted to extinction in the 1880s.
Most of the lead and zinc mines functioned until the early 1900s. The majority of the mining done in Ozark, Missouri was done in the Elk Valley area.
Ozark is located at 37°1′38″N 93°12′34″W / 37.02722°N 93.20944°W (37.027111, −93.209572). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 11.15 square miles (28.88 km2), of which 11.10 square miles (28.75 km2) is land and 0.05 square miles (0.13 km2) is water.
In 2012, press reports described Ozark as the fastest-growing city in Missouri.
The 2020 United States census counted 21,284 people, 7,648 households, and 5,238 families in Ozark. The population density was 1,751.8 per square mile (676.5/km2). There were 8,132 housing units at an average density of 669.3 per square mile (258.5/km2). The racial makeup was 88.86% (18,913) white, 0.92% (196) black or African-American, 0.58% (123) Native American, 0.58% (124) Asian, 0.09% (19) Pacific Islander, 1.3% (276) from other races, and 7.67% (1,633) from two or more races.
