This article appears in Volume V28, Page 455 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WEBB CITY , a city of Jasper county, Missouri, U.S.A., in the S.W.
part
  of the state, about 16o m. S. of Kansas City. Pop. (1890) 5043; (1900) 9201, of whom 248 were foreign-born; (1910 U.S.
census
 ) 11,817. It is served by the Missouri Pacific and the St Louis & San Francisco railway systems, and is the headquarters of the electric interurban railway connecting with Carthage and Joplin, Missouri, Galena, Kansas and other cities. With Carterville (pop. 1910, 4539), which adjoins it on the E., it forms practically one city; they are among the most famous and productive " camps " in the
rich
  lead and
zinc
  region of
south
 -western Missouri, and Webb City owes its industrial importance primarily to the
mining
  and shipping of those metals. The value of the factory product increased from $353,566 in 1900 to $637,965 in 1905. Webb City was laid out and incorporated as a town in 1875, and first chartered as a city in 1876.
White
  lead was discovered here in 1873, on the farm of John C. Webb, in whose honour the city is named; and systematic
mining
  began in 1877.
