Piedmont, Missouri, is a quaint, old-fashioned small town nestled at the foot of an Ozark mountain.

The original name of the city of Piedmont was Danielsville. Two brothers, James E. Daniel and William Daniel, received homestead land grants in 1853. William established a store, which brought other businesses, and soon Danielsville began to grow. While James became a successful farmer, William became the first Justice of the Peace and became know as the Squire Daniel. The city was renamed Piedmont meaning "An area of shallow, rolling hills formed or lying at the foot of a mountain or mountain range." More
