    Piedmont is located at (37.153868, -90.695766).

    According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.4 km sq (2.1 square miles), all land.

    Founded as Danielsville in the mid-1850s, early settlers were mostly farmers and merchants. The arrival of the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad in 1871 brought many supplies and workers and created a demand for local timber.

    Another major event in the history of Piedmont was the official opening of the Clearwater Lake Dam in 1948. Clearwater Lake is a man-made lake located within six miles of the Piedmont city limits that controls flood waters in the winter and provides a major tourist attraction in the summer.

    Other major sources of local revenue include small companies at two industrial parks and services for a growing number of retirees, many of whom relocate here to enjoy the mild winters and low cost of living. Area attractions include the Bluffview Park, Sunset Point Resort, and the Canyon Club Golf Course. Annual events of note include the Annual 4th of July Fireworks and the Ozark Heritage Festival & Craft Show in October.
