About Warrensburg

Warrensburg is a Johnson County city in west-central Missouri, best known as the home of the University of Central Missouri. Founded in 1835 by John and Martin D. Warren, it grew into a county-seat college town with a traditional downtown, public schools, and regional services. The university gives Warrensburg a student population, sports, events, and a stronger cultural presence than its size might suggest. It also sits near Whiteman Air Force Base, which adds another layer to the local economy and community life.
