Driving Around the Tiny Village Chilicothe, IA in 4k Video

Filmed in April 2023, I drive around the small town Chilicothe, Iowa to see what's going on. Chillicothe is a city in Wapello County, Iowa, United States. The population was 76 at the 2020 census. Chillicothe was laid out in 1849 and was incorporated in 1881. The word "Chillicothe" is derived from the ancient Shawnee Indian words meaning "Principal Place." It was the name for one of their clans. The main chief of the Shawnee could only come from the Chillicothe clan. When a village was called Chillicothe, it meant that it was home to the principal chief. It was the capital city of the Shawnees until the death of the chief. Then, the capitol would move to the home village of the next main chief. That village would then become Chillicothe. Chillicothe is the burial place of the oldest man to serve in the Civil War, Curtis King. On the west side of town is a large coal-burning power plant that supplies power to a large part of southeastern Iowa. As of the census of 2010, there were 97 people, 35 households, and 21 families residing in the city. The racial makeup of the city was 100.0% White. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.0% of the population. The per capita income for the city was $19,075. There were 12.0% of families and 13.8% of the population living below the poverty line, including 33.3% of under eighteens and none of those over 64. #driving #travel #drivingtour
