Before becoming a conservation area in 1938, Rockwoods Reservation had a rich history. It was initially inhabited by various Native American cultures, and later, in the early 1800s, it became farmland owned by the Hamilton family of Kentucky, giving rise to Hamilton Creek's name. In 1854, the Woods Christy Lumber Company took over, conducting extensive logging operations. Afterward, the Cobb-Write-Case Mining Company acquired the land in 1868, establishing a bustling mining community to extract limestone. However, the company faced bankruptcy in 1938, leading to the Missouri Department of Conservation's acquisition, thanks to the efforts of local businessmen led by Albert P. Greensfelder. Today, it's a remarkable park featuring cliffs, natural rock formations, and a serene escape from the suburban hustle and bustle.
