Cole Camp was named by Ezekiel Williams, who established a post
office in 1830 on Williams Creek, south of the present town.
Settlers from the south followed Williams, and in the 1840s an
influx of German immigrants arrived to leave their mark on the
area. Cole Camp maintains a cultural connection with the original
settlers through year-round festivals and celebrations. In 1861, an
early Civil War battle was fought nearby by the militia; the
skirmish is reenacted every two years by descendants of those men.
The area's rich history is evident in many 19th-century structures
preserved in Cole Camp and neighboring communities. Tourists and
day-trippers en route to the Lake of the Ozarks find a delightful
mirror of an earlier era in Cole Camp, along with fine restaurants,
art galleries, a winery, and antique shops.
