Awaiting Review
Nick Name Du Quoin
Earliest Known Date 1886
Location Du Quoin, IL, United States

Description

The Decatur Daily Review, May 21, 1886, has a large ad: "Base Ball!... DuQuoin, Champion of Southern Illinois, vs. Decatur White Stockings" at the new ballpark near Oakland Park, May 24-25.

From the context it's obvious that Du Quoin had baseball teams prior to 1886.
