Caldwell County, MO
County in Northwest MOThe history of Caldwell County actually begins on a sad note with a large group of people looking for a place to escape religious persecution and somewhere they could call home. The Mormon Saints under the direction of their “prophet” leader Joseph Smith, Jr. had been exiled from Independence, Missouri.
They had fled to Clay County for safety and were at first treated with kindness and respect. However, Clay County citizens offered their county only as a temporary refuge for the Latter-Day Saints. They were anxious for them to move on!! When vigilantes began gathering in large numbers and a county war seemed imminent, Clay’s leading citizens met with Mormon leaders and asked them to leave the County.
One of the influential residents in Liberty was one Alexander W. Doniphan, a representative elect of Clay County. He saw a need to protect the innocent women and children, so he prepared and introduced into the legislature a bill to organize a county designated specifically for the Mormon saints.
