Iconium is an unincorporated community in St. Clair County, Missouri, United States. 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.[1]
Iconium was founded in 1879, and named after the ancient city of Konya (Latin: Iconium), in Turkey.[2] A post office called Iconium was established in 1871, and remained in operation until 1959.[3]
