History

Okawville was originally known simply as “Okaw,” from an early name of the Kaskaskia River that derived from the Mississippi Valley French au Kaskaskies (“to the Kaskaskias”). The post office was known as Okaw from its establishment in 1836 until 1872, when the name was changed to Okawville.

In the late 19th and early 20th century Okawville was a prominent spa community. The first Okawville Springs Hotel was established in 1867.
