Lone Elm during the 1870's had a population of around 2,500 people and had about twenty businesses in addition to the big Granby Furnace. It was a mining community and as the mines went so did Lone Elm. Lone Elm was on the hill and in the valley of the northern part of Joplin, west of Joplin Creek and was named Lone Elm because of a lone elm tree that grew by the roadside.
