The population increased further when David Campbell discovered the first lead deposits and opened a commercial mine in 1849. By 1840, the population reached over 3,700 people. Aside from eastern states and other areas in Missouri, a small number of settlers also came from Ireland, Germany, France, Canada, Scotland, Sweden, Norway, England, and Wales. These were Benton, Marion, Shoal Creek, Sugar Creek, Mosely (later Sarcoxie), and Elk River townships. Several townships were established by April, 1839. The name came from the Native American phrase “ne-o-zho,” which translates roughly to “clear and abundant water.” The first session of the county court was held at prominent resident John Reed’s home. Men from surrounding counties-John William of Taney County, James Williams of Barry County, and Chesley Cannifax of Greene County-named the county seat at Neosho. The county was officially established on December 13, 1838. The Osage had nothing to hunt in the west, so returned to their former territory and raided settlers’ crops and livestock, but showed no violence toward the settlers themselves. Rountree immigrated to the area in 1831 from Tennessee and raised cattle, horses, and mules. Henderson, Job Ratcliff, Hiram Estes, Hugh Shannon, John Plummer, George McInturf, Joseph Ross, Nathaniel Turner, and John Smith shortly followed the Oliver family.
The first white settlement was in 1830 by Colonel Lunsford Oliver and his family, after the Osage Indians were removed west in the 1820s.
