The City of Miner, Missouri has long been known as "America's
Select City".

Miner is a traveler's oasis with great restaurants, a fabulous selection
of overnight accommodations, and shopping opportunities galore.

It serves as the cultural and economic center for Missouri’s Bountiful
Bootheel. The City of Miner, population 984 (est.), was founded in
1942 (incorporated in 1951) by a group of modern day pioneers led
by William Howard McGill.  Historically a farming community, Miner
was originally known as Minner, in honor of one of the landowners
residing there.  When erecting a sign to mark their switching station,
however, the railroad inadvertently left out an "n" in the town's name
and Minner became Miner Switch, and later the City of Miner.

Today, Miner is a major service center and tourist destination.  With
nine hotels, one campground, Lambert's Café - the Home of the
Throwed Rolls and the Sikeston Factory Outlet Stores, Miner hosts
thousands of guests each year.  Two points of interest are the
Sikeston Factory Outlet Stores - the only outlet mall between St. Louis
and Memphis, and Lambert's Café - The Home of the Throwed Rolls
(note the mural inside the building - it depicts the history of the
Lambert's Café and the Lambert family who proudly say "Four
generations and still throwing!")

The City of Miner is in the process of building a new 16,000 square
foot convention center that will be located beside the Drury Inn and
Suites.  The Miner Convention Center is scheduled to be completed
in early fall.  Please see the Convention Center's link to the right to
