[edit] Kickapoo, Missouri
I can't find anything to confirm that there really is a Kickapoo, MO. There's a Kickapoo High School in Springfield, but no actual town called Kickapoo. The Kickapoo Indians were forcefully removed from Missouri. I'm sure they chose that name because it sounds funny. Milchama 12:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
"Kickapoo, one of the oldest towns in Leavenworth county, is located on the Missouri river and the Missouri Pacific R. R. 7 miles from the city of Leavenworth. It was laid out in July, 1854, by citizens of Weston and Platte county, Mo., and was intended as a rival to Leavenworth. The town grew rapidly for awhile, but the location of the county seat at Leavenworth and the large outfitting trade there finally proved too much to be overcome, and its growth practically ceased. The population in 1910 was 200. Kickapoo has a money order postoffice, several general stores, churches, a public school, etc. By the act of Feb. 26, 1864, the legislature authorized the name of Kickapoo City changed to Steuben, and the name of Kickapoo township changed to Steuben township, but for some reason the act never became effective and the old names still appear on the modern maps."
This is what i was able to find with a quick search on Google: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/1912/k/kickapoo.html Jerbz 8:46, 20 Janurary 2007
