Faro

Map of Missouri, 1939, Rand, McNally & Company.
The village of St. Michaels, of which Fredericktown is the successor, was established about 1802 by French families that had received grants of land in the vicinity. It consisted of a little cluster of log houses, some twelve or fifteen in number and a store kept by Charles F. Goin. When, in June, 1814, the Saline and Castor Creeks overflowed their banks, and drove the inhabitants out, some of the families refused to return, and established what was known as the new village, one and one-half miles north of St. Michaels, where in 1820 a church was built. In 1819 Fredericktown was laid off on the Saline, opposite St. Michaels, on land owned by Nathaniel Cook. It was named in honor of George Frederick Bollinger, of Cape Girardeau County. The first stores were opened by S. A. Guignon, S. B. Pratte, and Moses and Calet Cox.French Mills

Standard Reference Guide of Missouri, 1974, Rand, McNally & Co.
Mine La Motte was discovered by a Mr. Renault, about the year 1723 or 1724, who made an exploration, but finding no silver ore abandoned it. About the year 1725 a man by the name of La Motte opened and wrought the mine, after whom it was called. About the years 1738-40, the Mine a La Motte was considered a public property, and the people in general were allowed to work it. At that time it furnished about all the lead exported from the Illinois. But soon after the discovery and opening of the Mine a Burton, at Potosi, the Mine a la Motte was in a great measure abandoned, the mineral at Mine a Burton being much easier smelted.Oak Grove
