Lead was discovered in the Joplin Creek Valley before the Civil War, but only after the war did significant development take place. By 1871, numerous mining camps sprang up in the valley and resident John C. Cox filed a plan for a city on the east side of the valley. Cox named his village Joplin City after the spring and creek nearby, which had been named for the Reverend Harris G. Joplin, who settled upon its banks circa 1840.
While Joplin was first settled for lead mining, zinc, often referred to as "jack", was the most important mineral resource. As railroads were built to connect Joplin to major markets in other cities, it was on the verge of dramatic growth. By the start of the 20th century, the city was becoming a regional metropolis. Construction centered around Main Street, with many bars, hotels, and fine homes nearby. Joplin's three-story "House of Lords" was its most famous saloon, with a bar and restaurant on the first floor, gambling on the second, and a brothel on the third.
In 1933 during the Great Depression, the notorious criminals Bonnie and Clyde spent some weeks in Joplin, where they robbed several area businesses. Tipped off by a neighbor, the Joplin Police Department attempted to apprehend the pair. Bonnie and Clyde escaped after killing Newton County Constable John Wesley Harryman and Joplin Police Detective Harry McGinnis; however, they were forced to leave most of their possessions behind, including a camera. The Joplin Globe developed and printed the film, which showed now-legendary photos of Bonnie holding Clyde at mock gunpoint, and of Bonnie with her foot on a car fender, posed with a pistol in her hand and cigar in her mouth.
On May 5, 1971, Joplin was struck by a severe tornado, resulting in one death and 50 injuries, along with major damage to many houses and businesses.
On May 22, 2011, disaster struck again, and an EF5 tornado touched down in Joplin. About 2,400 houses, 1,000 cars, and businesses were flattened or blown away in Joplin, particularly in the section between 13th and 32nd Streets across the southern part of the city. The tornado narrowly missed the downtown area.

Hi, I'm Brazilian, I'm looking for an address for a family member I haven't spoken to in years. The last news I had was that he lives in Joplin, Missouri, I got the address and was trying to locate it on Google Maps but I couldn't find it. I'm having trouble finding it, I don't know the streets and counties of Missouri. the address is (S18th ave), they told me the name of a street in joplin is Hardley road, close to E66. Can you locate this friendly address?

Absolutely not
I think your family member may have spelled the street wrong. In Joplin 7th Street is the old Highway 66. Just off of Highway 66 outside of Joplin in the little town of Duenweg is a Hardy Street. This might be where your family member is at. It is just a few blocks from 66. www.google.com/maps/place/Hardy+St/@37.0818038,-94.4140017,17z/data=!4m7!3m6!1s0x87c87d76cb63c909:0xff80f353a2aae4a0!4b1!8m2!3d37.0816873!4d-94.4117967!16s%2Fg%2F1vzg2s2d?entry=ttu
