Fredericktown

Small Missouri town

Fredericktown is a place name shared by several small towns in the United States, most notably in Ohio and Missouri.

These communities were typically named after early settlers or prominent local figures named Frederick.

Like many American town names ending in -town, it suggests an early colonial or post-revolutionary settlement pattern.
