== Fun facts ==
* Lambert for almost all of its existence has only served as a residential extension of Benton. It dissolved in 2012.
* Miner is home to large chunk of the hotels Sikeston has to offer, in addition to a few fast food places, a few local restaurants and businesses and a few gas stations. It also has Sikeston's factory outlets, Lambert's Cafe, Food Giant, a FedEx Shipping Center and a Volvo truck dealership.
* River Ridge Winery is located north of Commerce.
* Haywood City has historically been almost all black since its founding.
* Outside of Sikeston and Haywood City, Scott, for the most part, was a somewhat notorious sundown county. A few skeletons of the county's past as far as that goes remain, but racial tolerance is a lot better now.
* Located near Morley is the gravesite of Nathaniel W. Watkins, a state legislator and a general in the Missouri State Guards. He was a half-brother of statesman Henry Clay. Wilson Brown, the ninth lieutenant governor of Missouri, lived in the county for a time. Noted early legislators such as Joseph Hunter II and Abraham Hunter also lived here.
* Commerce was an early French fur trading post.
