About Joplin

Joplin is a southwest Missouri city spread across Jasper and Newton counties, and the principal city of a three-county metro area. It sits near the Ozark region and has long served as a regional center for commerce, health care, education, and media. Joplin is also known nationally for the devastating 2011 tornado and the rebuilding that followed. The city has more weight than its size suggests, functioning as the practical hub for a large corner of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
