Remnants Of The Past

St. Clair County Courier, 6 January 2006

There was a hoop factory in the area of Stringtown, north of the Osage River on old Hwy. 13.
It was called "Stringtown" because everything was 'strung out along the road'.
Old cargo lists for steamboats show "hoop poles" being sent down the river.
