History Barnhart is more of an area than a town. It does not have a business district per se, though there are a number of businesses located along Missouri Hwy 61, along Missouri Hwy M and along the outer road of Interstate 55. The history of Barnhart Missouri is pretty much the same as the history of Jefferson County. Over the last 10,000 years there have been 8 documented Indian civilizations that called this area home. The most recent being the Osage Indians. The area had long been inhabited by The Osage Indians who primarily lived in semi-permanent villages along the Osage River. They primarily roamed the land between the Missouri River to the north, the Mississippi River to the east, the Arkansas River to the south and westward into Kansas and Oklahoma.
When the first European's came to their territory however, the Osage choose not to resist the influx of white people, but rather began to trade with them providing much of the fur that the early white settlers in turn traded back east. As the number of white settlers grew, the Osage became more and more hostile towards them to the point where many of the early residents of Jefferson County fled to St. Louis for security reasons. In 1821 Missouri became a state and the Osage were forced to move west into areas of Kansas and Oklahoma that were then referred to as the Indian Territories. The Osage Indians, as a tribe, are currently located on a reservation in Oklahoma. The first European settler in Arnold was Jean Baptiste Gamache. He operated a ferry across the Meramec River on what was then known as King's Trace or El Camino (the King's road) that ran from St. Louis to Ste. Genevieve. This road was renamed in 1850 after telegraph lines, the first in the state, were strung along it. It's new name aptly enough was Telegraph Road. This part of Jefferson County is hilly and the soil not particularly suited for agriculture except along the river and creeks. Due to this, the area remained sparsely populated until fairly recently when suburban sprawl began to make it's mark. The first subdivisions in the Barnhart Missouri area were built early 1980's with the majority of Demographics (Based upon the 2000 Census Data) Total Population 6,108 Median Age 31.6 Yrs Breakdown By Race And Gender White 96.9% Hispanic 1.5% Two or More Races .9% American Indian .6% Female 50.9% Male 49.1% Income Statistics Estimated Median Income in 2005 $62,100 Educational Information Percentage of High School Graduates 89.3% Bachelors Degree or Higher 17.3% Graduate or Professional Degree 4.6% Real Estate Information (Based upon information gathered from June 21, 2006 - June 21, 2007) Average Sales Price (Single Family Home) $174,132 Average Square Feet (Single Family Home) 1,637 Average Days on Market 74 Price per Square Foot $106.37
