Iconium, locally known as 'Ico,' is an unincorporated community in St. Clair County, Missouri, United States.[1] The town is perhaps best known for "Scott's Iconium Store," a local institution that is a frequent pilgrimage destination for Boy Scouts, due to the community's proximity to the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation, and is well known for its peach Nehi floats.[2]
Iconium was founded in 1879, and named after the ancient region of Iconium.[3] A post office called Iconium was established in 1871, and remained in operation until 1959.[4]
