About Homestown
Homestown has a unique history rooted in the Missouri Bootheel's agricultural past. Originally known as South Wardell, it was established in the late 1930s as a planned community for Black sharecropper families seeking stable homes and farmland. That close-knit foundation still shapes the town today, giving this Pemiscot County community a strong sense of heritage and local pride.
Living in Homestown means enjoying a quiet, rural rhythm surrounded by wide open fields and friendly neighbors. Local families are served by the North Pemiscot school district, and the town offers plenty of peace and room to breathe. For everyday shopping, healthcare, and dining, residents can easily hop over to nearby hubs like Hayti and Caruthersville or take Interstate 55 for quick trips across the wider region.
