Pulaski County's earliest settlers were the Quapaw, Missouria and Osage Native Americans. After the Lewis and Clark Expedition of the early 19th century, white settlers came to the area, many from Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas; the earliest pioneers appeared to have settled as early as 1818, and the town of Waynesville was designated the county seat by the Missouri Legislature in 1833.
The town was served by the South-Western Stage Company until the railroad traversed Pulaski County in 1869. [2] Waynesville was occupied by the 13th Missouri State Militia (MSM) in June 1862, under the command of Colonel Albert Sigel. The Union regiment was reorganized and renumbered as the 5th MSM in March 1863.
