Brief
History:
Hickory County is located in
the U.S. state of Missouri. The
county was organized February 14,
1845. Hickory County was
named in 1845 for Andrew Jackson,
known as "Old Hickory", with his home
called "The Hermitage", at Nashville,
Tennessee.
He defeated Henry Clay in 1832 in
Clay's second candidacy.
"We have two Butterfield Stage Stops
in Hickory County. One at Judy's Gap,
(Quincy) and one southwest of Elkton,
2 1/2 or 3 miles. A State Historical
Marker marks the one at Quincy on the
spot, but the other is IN Elkton, but that
is not
authentic. It was at the Yoast
Place. A few things are still there to
mark the place. Two pear trees and the old
cellar can be
seen, also some rocks, the last time
I was there." (--A portion of a letter
from Mrs. Nannie Jinkins, president of the
Hickory
County Historical Society.)
