Pierre Dakotan says Peoria bottom, in
tine northwestern corner OF Hughes
county, was given its name by the sol
diers OF Tile Sully expedition in 1868.
They made their camp On the bottom
and their supplies were brought to
them on the Missouri river steamer
Belle Peoria. The encampment took
the name OF Peoria camp and In after
years the name of Peoria bottom at
tached itself to that locality.
Most Of the military nomenclature
of the Missouri river region has been
lost, for the towns that have sprung
up along the river do not generally
occupy the sites OF the chain of forts
along the river through the Indian
country
In the summer of 1870 a colony of
Irishmen located a future metropO-
lis'' up the Missouri river and named
it Peoria. The scheme was organized
By Charlie Collins OF Sioux City and
backed by United States Internal
Revenue Collector, John Pope Hold
nett of Yankton. Several leading
Irishmen of Chicago and Peoria, Ill
inOis, were In the movement, and the
townsite was named Peoria in honor
Of the Peoria statesmen. Charlie
Collins filed on a quarter section OF
land for the writer who was then
editor of the Union and Dakotan at
Yankton, and vas doing all he could
to help the boys build a town up the
river. The patriotic Irishmen were
ahead Of time because they were sur
rounded by Indians and white men
had no desire to risk their hair hence
the town failed. Sully's troops may
have camped there in 1863, and other
things may have happened prior tc
1870, but the town Of Peoria was
ma med as stated above.
