ADT-Monitored Home Security Service in Caruthersville, MO

Caruthersville is a city in and the county chair of Pemiscot County, Missouri, United States, located along the Mississippi River in the Bootheel region of the state’s far away southeast. The population was 5,562, according to the 2020 census.

Caruthersville lies in Missouri’s Bootheel upon the Mississippi River. The word “Pemiscot” comes from the word pemiskaw, meaning “liquid mud” in the Fox language. Mississippi waters have frequently flooded the flatlands, creating fertile alluvial land valued for farming. Settling the floodplain has resulted in periodic problems for residents, as there are regular floods despite (and because of) elaborate constructed systems of levees and flood controls.

Native Americans inhabited the house of the Caruthersville Place for thousands of years back European settlement. The Mississippian culture built big earthwork mounds throughout the Mississippi Valley. One such earthwork remains in this county, rising 270 feet above sea level not quite four miles southwest of Caruthersville. It stands versus the surrounding delta-like plain.
