History
Conflicting histories point to Joiner originally being settled in the 1880s by two different men. First, there was D.C. Joyner, a doctor from Stewart County, Tennessee. He came to Mississippi County after 1861 and settled in what is now the city of Joiner before 1888. Second, there was R.L. Joiner, a businessman from Shelby County, Tennessee. Joiner came to Mississippi County in 1868, and settled at what is now the city of Joiner in 1880. At some point prior to 1903, executives from the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway traveled to Mississippi County and met with Rufus Joiner. "After an evening of dinner and entertainment" the railway executives decided to construct a depot in the vicinity of the Joiner household and name it after the family. The depot was constructed in 1903. The following year, the nascent community received a post office.
