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