History

Jasper was platted in 1888. The city was named for deposits of jasper mined nearby. A post office has been in operation at Jasper since 1888. Jasper was incorporated in 1889.

On July 8, 1927 a tornado near the town was photographed by Lucille Handberg. Her photograph has become a classic image, even appearing on three album covers: Bitches Brew by American jazz musician Miles Davis (1970), as well as English bands Deep Purple (1974) and Siouxsie and the Banshees (1986).
