About Blackwater
Blackwater is a city in northwest Cooper County, Missouri, United States located along the Blackwater River, from which it takes its name. As of the 2020 census, Blackwater had a population of 170.
Founded by the Missouri Pacific Railroad, Blackwater's economy was largely defined by freight until the mid-twentieth century. With the railroad's decline, Blackwater's status as a boom town came to an end, and the population thinned considerably. The city has preserved a number of historic, rail-related structures that have been repurposed as museums, hotels, or antique shops.
Many parts of Blackwater's commercial and residential districts are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
