Du Quoin Information Guide 2013-2014

On behalf of the people of this great community I extend to you a warm Du Quoin welcome. We are proud of all that Du Quoin has to offer, and are honored that you have graced us with your interest. In Du Quoin you’ll find a town of contrasts – a tranquil quality of life that on occasion can seem as fast-paced as a USAC stock car cir-cling the Magic Mile at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds. Our schools and our hospital are new, yet historic Downtown Du Quoin can feel like a walk back in time, especially during the Christmas season when Main Street

takes on a special glow that warms the heart. With broadband internet access read-ily available that connects Du Quoin to the world, we still prefer to visit with our neighbors over the fence. Dining in Du Quoin can be fine or fast, domestic or inter-national. Our century-old movie theater is simply – well – Grand! The calm of the community belies citizens who are active, engaged, and work-ing continuously to make Du Quoin even more special. The Du Quoin Tourism Committee plans stunning events like the Holiday Lights Fair that truly welcomes visitors to our community with open arms. Legend has it that summer won’t change to fall before the spectacular Du Quoin State Fair ends on Labor Day. Why, teams from throughout the Midwest even play softball in January inside the Southern Illinois Center. You get the picture. Du Quoin is a real change of pace. Want to learn more about Du Quoin? Visit us at www.duquointourism.org. Don’t hesitate to call, either. The phone number for the City of Du Quoin is (618) 542-3841. The Chamber of Commerce can be reached at (618) 542-9570, and the Tourism Commission is available at (618) 542-8338. Contact me personally at the City or at [email protected].

J Jean Baptiste Du Quoin (some-times Ducoigne) was born on January 21, 1750. He was the son

of a Frenchman and a Tamaroa Indian woman. He was baptized at the Church of St. Anne outside Fort de Chartres. He was made chief of the Tamaroas in 1767. This was also the year that the Illinois Confederacy made up of the Kaskaskias, the Michigans, the Peorias, the Cahokias and the Tamaroas (organized in defense against the Iroquois) dissolved, when Chief Pontiac was murdered in Kaskaskia by Michigan Indians. The other tribes drove the Michigans onto Starved Rock and by 1769 had starved them to death. In 1880, Chief Du Quoin merged the Kaskaskias, Cahokias and Tamaroas

into a new confederacy. Two years later, Chief Du Quoin met the Shawnees in the prairies east of the Big Muddy and nearly all were killed on both sides. Most survivors were Kaskaskias, so Chief Du Quoin is often referred to as Chief of the Kaskaskias. Chief Jean Baptiste Du Quoin died in 1811 and was buried at Kaskaskia. His son, Louis Jefferson Du Quoin, became chief of the tribe in 1811. On the present site of Old Du Quoin, the Kaskaskias had a winter camp. They hunted and trapped along Little Muddy and the nearby creeks during the win-ter, and in the spring they sold their furs in Kaskaskia and spent the summer in leisure. The camp was located on

the main trail from Shawneetown to Kaskaskia and it offered shelter and hospitality to travelers, since the chief was himself half white. Jarrold Jackson stopped at the Indian Camp in 1803 and staked out property on the Little Muddy. He was the settler of Old Du Quoin. He owned and oper-ated the first Toll Bridge over the Little Muddy River. Old Du Quoin was never actually founded but grew gradually out of seasonal camps, which Indian hunters had established. Daniel Dry opened a store in the camp in 1880. Chester A. Keyes also had a store in town. By early 1840 construction was begun on a railroad from the Lakes to the Gulf. It passed several miles west of Old Du Quoin. In about 1850, the settlers began moving their houses and stores to the new town by the railroad and called it “The Station”. The town grew and became

larger than the first settlement. In 1853, Isaac S. Metcalf, a civil engi-neer from Maine, and Chester A. Keyes of Old Du Quoin laid out the new town by the railroad and called it Du Quoin. Comprising the central section of the present city, it extended from Spring to Poplar Streets, and from the railroad to Pear Street. Main and Washington Streets were laid out a hundred feet wide to provide room for shade trees and Keyes Park was laid out and donated to the city with the stipulation that no building should ever be erected on it. The town was officially dedicated on September 20, 1853, and the first lot was sold to Bargella Silkwood on September 24, 1853. Agriculture and mining were the city’s oldest industries. Later, a foundry, a meat packing plant, a soda bottling plant, dairy, state police headquarters,

electronics and a metal fabrication plant were added to the city located in the corn and soybean belt. The Marshall Browning Hospital was built in 1919 and was remodeled and enlarged in 1972, 200l and again in 2007. The original building was razed in 2010 completing the new facility. A shelter care facility has also been added. In 1986, the State of Illinois pur-chased the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds, ensuring the continuation of the annual Du Quoin State Fair and other non-fair events. Today, life in Du Quoin is evolving into a high-tech modern setting with the charm of a small mid-western town.
