More on Hannibal
Hannibal was established in 1819 by Moses Bates. Before that the area was a Native American settlement. It was just a small village until the mid 19th century, when the arrival of railroad line fueled its growth, giving it city status in 1845. The city became a major producer of cement - the cement used for the construction of the Empire State Building as well as the Panama Canal came from here.Perhaps the most famous resident of Hannibal is author Samuel L. Clemens alias Mark Twain, who spent his childhood years here. It inspired him with the setting for his classics The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The city is also the birthplace of Margaret Brown, the American socialite and survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, known posthumously as The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
