BOONVILLE , a city and the county-seat of Cooper county, Missouri, U.S.A., on the right bank of the Missouri river, about 210 M. W. by N..of St Louis. Pop. (189o) 4141; (1900) 4377, including rift negroes; (1910) 4252. It is served by the Missouri Pacific, and the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas
  railways. The city lies along a bluff about too ft. above the river. It is the seat of the Missouri training school for boys (1889), and of the Kemper military school (1844). Among its manufactures are earthen-
ware
 , tobacco, vinegar, flour, farm-gates (iron),
sash
  and doors,
marble
  and granite monuments, carriages and bricks. Iron, zinc and lead are found in the vicinity, and some coal is
mined
 . Boonville, named in honour of Daniel Boone, was settled in 181o, was laid out in 1817, incorporated as a
village
  in 1839, and chartered as a city of the third class in 1896. Here on the 17th of June 1861, Captain (Major-General) Nathaniel Lyon, commanding about 2000
Union
  troops, defeated a slightly larger, but undisciplined Confederate force under Brigadier-General John S. Marmaduke.

  (d. 1837), one of the first two United States senators from Missouri, was buried here.
