Iconium is an unincorporated community in St. Clair County, Missouri,[1] with a population of 35 people. The town is perhaps best known for "Scott's Iconium Store," a local institution that is a frequent pilgrimage destination for Boy Scouts, many of whom refer to the town as "Ico" for short, and is well known for its Peach Nehi floats.[2] The town is also very close to the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation.
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]
