History

The area east of Du Quoin is known as Old Du Quoin. In the early 19th century, Du Quoin was near the Lusk’s Ferry Road, an important early road that connected Kaskaskia with Lusk’s Ferry on the Ohio River. The road ran easterly out of Steeleville to a point southwest of Du Quoin. There it turned to the southeast to cross the Big Muddy River and head for Lusk’s Ferry.

Du Quoin had its start at its present location in 1853 when the railroad was extended to that point. The city was named after Chief Jean Baptiste Ducoigne of the Kaskaskia, an Illiniwek people, who were defeated by the Shawnee near here in 1802.

The first mayor of Du Quoin was George Spencer Smith.
