Bollinger Mill State Historic Site and Burfordville Covered Bridge are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Cape Girardeau County. NameThe town was formerly known simply as Bollinger’s Mill as George Frederick Bollinger had built a mill on the site. The town was later named Burfordville for local pioneer John Burford.[4] HistoryMajor George Bollinger, a Swiss German immigrant, arrived in the area from North Carolina. He built the first mill on the Whitewater River in 1797. Bollinger was promised a large concession of land if he agreed to return to North Carolina and encouraged others to move to Missouri. He then returned to North Carolina and brought back with him to Missouri 20 other Swiss and German immigrant families. The village was incorporated in 1900.[5] GeographyBurfordville is located on the Whitewater River about 8 miles southwest of Jackson, Missouri, and is situated in the central part of Kinder Township.[4] References1. ^US Climate Data.com http://www.usclimatedata.com/map.php?location=USMO0144 {{Cape Girardeau County, Missouri}}{{CapeGirardeauCountyMO-geo-stub}}2. ^Hometown Locator: Burfordville, Missouri http://roadsidethoughts.com/mo/burfordville-xx-cape-girardeau-misc.htm 3. ^Roadsidethoughts.com: Burfordville, Missouri http://roadsidethoughts.com/mo/burfordville-xx-cape-girardeau-misc.htm 4. ^1 State Historical Society of Missouri: Cape Girardeau County Place Names http://shs.umsystem.edu/manuscripts/ramsay/ramsay_cape_girardeau.html 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.semissourian.com/blogs/fromthemorgue/entry/62508|title=10th Anniversary Edition: All about Burfordville|publisher=Southeast Missourian|date=August 4, 2015}}{{dead link|date=July 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 3 : Unincorporated communities in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri|Cape Girardeau – Jackson metropolitan area|Unincorporated communities in Missouri |
