History of Festus, MO
History The first settler in the area was Charley Conners, who built a log cabin in 1803. Festus was settled shortly after the establishment of New Detroit , which was a dry company town. Initially established around 1878 by W. J. Adams as Limitville, it was nicknamed "Tanglefoot" because several of its first businesses were saloons. As incorporation was discussed, a more dignified name was sought. Town legend claims the name was chosen by a church ceremony where a Bible was opened blindly and the first proper name encountered was that of Porcius Festus , the governor of Judea around 60 AD . There is another town legend that says there was a disagreement over what to name the city and it was agreed upon that a Bible would be shot and whatever proper name closest to the last page penetrated would be chosen. The City of Festus was incorporated in 1887 as a 4th class city. The current government structure consisting of a mayor, a city council and a city administrator, was adopted in 1976.
