History
While the Osage tribe inhabited the general region previously, European-American settlement started in the year 1855, when two brothers, Elijah C. and James C. Webb, from Overton County, Tennessee, moved to the area. Mining in the vicinity later caught the attention of Otto Duenweg and his father, Louis, of Terre Haute, Indiana, who in 1895 purchased significant mining interests at the site. Rail lines came in to serve the workers and mines. The Southwest Missouri Electric Railway Company, forerunner of the Southwest Missouri Railroad Company, which had already linked Joplin, Webb City, Carterville and Prosperity by 1894, was extended south from Prosperity into Duenweg in 1903. The line was indirectly involved in a bank robbery in 1915 when, on February 17, robbers hit the Duenweg Bank, intending to escape on the streetcar to Joplin. When they missed the car by one minute, they attempted and failed to escape on foot. The settlement was not officially incorporated until 1954, becoming the City of Duenweg. In 2002 the city expanded by annexation to include additional lands to the north and south.
