Lorimier's post founds Cape Girardeau

Cape Rock, Cape Girardeau
Louis Lorimier, a French Canadian trader who had fought alongside the Shawnee against the Americans, took a Spanish land grant here and founded the settlement. The name is older still, from Jean Baptiste de Girardot, who kept a post on the rock around 1733.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
