Downtown in St. Louis, Missouri — The American Midwest (Upper Plains)
Rue Quicapou
Pine Street
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.
