History

Lake Tapawingo was constructed by the Lake Tapawingo Development Company in 1926 as an “exclusive sports retreat and rest haven.” The city takes its name from a lake of the same name within its borders. Derived from a Native American word meaning “beautiful water” or “beautiful place”, it is also said to be named after an Indian princess. The City of Lake Tapawingo was officially formed in 1962 in order to prevent annexation by the larger cities of either Blue Springs, Missouri or Independence, Missouri.
