History

Formed in 1829 from Cape Girardeau County, New Madrid County, Scott County and Wayne County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Stoddard County was created on January 16, 1829, from Cape Girardeau, New Madrid, Scott, and Wayne counties, though it was not initially fully organized and remained attached to Cape Girardeau for administrative purposes. The county was fully organized and detached from Cape Girardeau on January 2, 1835, after which its boundaries were adjusted multiple times through exchanges and losses as neighboring counties were created or reorganized, including the creation of Dunklin County in 1843 and Bollinger County in 1851.
