History Of Taney County
Taney County was organized on January 4, 1837, The name “Taney County” originated from Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Forsyth, Missouri was named as the “County Seat”.
In the beginning, court met in private homes while a Courthouse site was being selected in Forsyth, MO. Before a permanent structure could be built in that community, Commissioners were appointed by the State Legislature. The Commissioners decided to relocate the County Seat to a site near Bull Creek.
Around, 1855, the community constructed a three-story Courthouse, which was considered a rare structure for that period. The Courthouse was destroyed on July 22, 1861, during a Civil War Battle.
The Courthouse was rebuilt, but once again destroyed. This time it was destroyed by fire, on December 19, 1885.
The Courthouse was rebuilt a third time in 1891. When Bull Shoals Lake inundated the area iri 1951, the Courthouse was flooded. The County sold it to the School of the Ozarks (now College of the Ozarks).
The building was moved in 1952 to permit the building of Bull Shoals Lake.
The fourth and present Courthouse was occupied on August 1,1952. In 1989 an addition was started and then completed in 1991.
On January 1, 2001, Taney County became the first County in the State of Missouri to move from a “Third Class County” to a “First Class County”.
The next building project was to build a new Judicial Facility next to the Courthouse. Groundbreaking was on June 15, 2006. Elected Officials and employees moved into the Judicial Facility in September, 2008.
