What was once referred to as the "Honey Land" is the nine mile wide strip of
rural country running the length of the Iowa/Missouri border. Unclear
wording in the Missouri Constitution on boundaries combined with confusion
over the survey of the Louisiana Purchase led to The "Honey War" of 1839.
Before this bloodless territorial dispute was settled by the U.S. Supreme
Court in 1850, militias from both Iowa and Missouri squared off, a Missouri
sheriff was incarcerated and three trees containing bee hives were
ransacked.
Perhaps it was all just a classic story of risk takers pushing boundaries.
