Hickory County, located in the Ozark Highland of Missouri, was organized 1845, and named for US President Andrew Jackson, known as Old Hickory. The county area was early known to French trappers. From 1819 to 1832, a Kickapoo Indian Reservation was west of Pomme De Terre (Fr. Potato) River in the county. Settlers from Tenn. and KY came in the late 1820's. The county seat of Hermitage was laid out 1846-47, and named for Andrew Jackson's home in Tenn. Three miles south of Hermitage is the Pomme De Terre Reservoir and Dam. Hickory County is a poultry, livestock, and grain producer. Lead and zinc are found in the county and zinc was mined in the 1890's near Pittsburg and Elkton. At Bone Spring near Pomme De Terre River, numerous mastodon were found in the late 1850's and early 1840's. One skeleton put together by Lousan Albert Koch was sold in 1844 to the British Museum. An Indian quarry and mounds and campsites have been found in the county.
