Mine La Motte, Missouri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mine La Motte is an unincorporated community in Madison County, Missouri, United States. It is located about six miles north of Fredericktown. The town was named for a nearby mine dating from about 1717; the mine was named for Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, an early explorer and Governor-General of Louisiana. The presence of lead, which was a critical ingredient for ammunition, attracted unusually early mining by the Spanish and French in this otherwise remote interior region of the North American continent.
