Appanoose was a 19th century Meskwaki chief who lived in Iowa; he was son of Taimah (Chief Tama)[1] and therefore probably a grandson of Quashquame.
Several place names are ultimately derived from Appanoose:
- Appanoose County, Iowa
- Appanoose County Courthouse
- Appanoose County Community Railroad
- Appanoose Township, Franklin County, Kansas
- Appanoose Township, Hancock County, Illinois
- USS Appanoose (AK-226), a Crater class cargo ship, was named for Appanoose.[2]
