In 1804, history passed straight through Jackson County in the form of Merriwether Lewis and William Clark, better known by school children as Lewis and Clark. This explorer duo went straight through the area of Jackson County on one of their most famous expeditions, and during that time they reported all about how this area looked and helped those who were in the government to see what they had purchased when they had purchased this area as part of the Louisiana Purchase. Before then it had belonged to France.

Originally it was named for Andrew Jackson, who was a senator at the time and who later, of course, became president. This area has been broken up and split up a number of different times, which is why those who are looking for Jackson County public records may have to do a bit of searching in order to find precisely what they are looking for. A great place to start however, is with the Jackson County Recorder of Deeds, which is located at 415 E. 12th St., Rm 104, in the great state of Kansas City, MO. Those who do not find their information there should get a good lead from the clerk on where to look for their information next.
