President's Message
As president of the Higginsville Chamber of Commerce, I extend a warm welcome to you.
We have published this website to showcase important information about Higginsville, Missouri. Please take a few moments to page through it and learn more about our community. It contains information on the many people, businesses and organizations we feel are responsible for providing our residents "Country Living At Its Best".
Higginsville was founded in 1869 by Harvey Higgins, for whom the town is named. Today, we have grown into a city of approximately 5,000 individuals. Once known for our German and agricultural heritage, we have become much more diverse in the last 50 years. We are proud of our residents, city government, school system, numerous civic organizations, churches, park system, active business community, and a host of other assets that make life here very rich.
The words and photographs contained in this website only tell part of our story. I encourage you to visit our community to experience the quality of life Higginsville has to offer you, your family and your business.
Hope to see you in Higginsville soon!
