La Rue Quicapou ("Kickapoo Street" or Pine Street) was located north of La Rue Missouri. It is probably named for the Kickapoo Indians, originally a Great Lakes tribe closely related to the Sac and Fox, who displaced the native Illinois Indians in 1769. It is interesting to note that although the principal trading partners of the town were the Grand or Great Osage Indians, there was no street named for these significant Indians.

La Rue Quicapou ("Kickapoo Street" ou Pine Street) était située au nord de la rut Missouri Fille portait probablement le num des Indians Kickapoo, à l'origine une tri des Grands Lacs étroitement liée aux tribus Sac et Fox, qui, 1769, supplantèrent les Indiens originaires de limais. Il est intéressant de water qu'il n'y avait pas de rue portant le num des Indians Grand Osage, bien que ces indiens importants pour la région aient été les principaux partenaires commerciaux de la ville.
