El Dorado Springs is a progressive community
located in Southwest Missouri. The current population is 3,593
according to the 2010 U.S. Census. El Dorado Springs is the
largest city in Cedar County.
|
El Dorado Springs was incorporated in 1881 and has a rich and
colorful history. It operates on a Council-Manager form of
government and is a full-service city.
El Dorado Springs is ideally located
between Kansas City, Springfield and Joplin on US Highway 54
between US Highway 71 and State Highway 13.
 Excellent hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation
opportunities are plentiful. Truman, Stockton and Pomme de Terre lakes are all in
close proximity. The Conservation Department has Schell Osage and Four Rivers
conservation areas nearby. El Dorado Springs also has thousands of acres of native
tallgrass prairie within minutes.
The agricultural lands to the west provide a good soil base for
crop production such as corn, soybeans, milo and wheat,
with a 192 day growing season that allows for double cropping.
Most areas are conducive to running cattle with the more popular
breeds being Angus, Limousin, and Polled Hereford. The mild
climate and long growing season make it possible to run cow/calf
pairs on two to five acres per year. Southwest Missouri leads
the state in cow/calf production and the state ranks second in
the nation.
People come here to raise their families, start or relocate
their business, or just retire because of the location, mild
climate, fresh air, low cost of living, low crime rate, slow
pace of life, access to hunting and fishing, and area shopping. Feel the need for
a larger city? You can be in Joplin,
Springfield or Kansas City in a little over an hour. With
medical facilities, doctors, dentists, and veterinarians, El
Dorado Springs is a self-contained, self-supporting community.
