Festus is a city in Jefferson County, Missouri, United States. The population was 11,202 at the 2006 census. Festus and its neighbor Crystal City are often collectively known as the "Twin Cities"; however, they are incorporated separately. Festus is also notable for being the hometown of the Bottle Rockets.The first settler in the area was Charley Conners, who built a log cabin in 1803. Festus was settled shortly after the establishment of New Detroit (later Crystal City), which was a dry company town. Initially established around 1878 by W. J. Adams as Limitville, it was nicknamed "Tanglefoot" because several of its first businesses were saloons. As incorporation was discussed, a more dignified name was sought. Town legend claims the name was chosen by a church ceremony where a Bible was opened blindly and the first proper name encountered was that of Porcius Festus, the governor of Judea around 60 AD (Acts 24:27). The City of Festus was incorporated in 1888 as a 4th class city. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
