East Prairie is a city in Mississippi County, Missouri, United States. The population was 3,176 at the 2010 census.

History

A post office called East Prairie has been in operation since 1872.[3] The community took its name from a prairie of the same near the original town site.[4] The current town, which lies about a mile south of the original post office site, was established in 1883 as a stop along the St. Louis Southwestern Railway ("Cotton Belt"), and was originally known as "Hibbard." The East Prairie postmaster, S.P. Martin, moved the post office to the new town site. By 1900, the city's name had been changed from "Hibbard" to "East Prairie."[5]

Hess Archeological Site, Hoecake Village Archeological Site, and Mueller Archeological Site, some of which contain Native American burial mounds, are located near East Prairie and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[6]
