Welcome to the official web site of Carterville Missouri

Carterville Missouri is located just north of Joplin in Jasper County, Missouri. The City of Carterville is situated just east of and adjoining Webb City and about midway between Joplin and Carthage.

Carterville has a rich history dating back to the early 1900's when it was a booming mining town. Old route 66 stretches through the center of town giving residents and visitors a beautiful scenic drive any time of year.

In 1921 Carterville became part of the still famous “Route 66 Highway” when the first concrete was laid between Carterville and Carthage.  The highway became a landmark for the city when it came right down Main Street.  Thus the motto “Main Street USA”.
