Rocheport, Historic district in Rocheport, Missouri, United States
The district contains numerous 19th-century buildings constructed with local limestone along the Missouri River, featuring Greek Revival and Italianate architectural elements.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition passed through this location in 1804, where William Clark documented Native American petroglyphs and natural formations near Moniteau Creek.
The area developed into a major shipping point between St. Louis and St. Joseph by 1850, handling agricultural products like tobacco, hemp, wheat, and corn.
The district provides access to the Katy Trail State Park, offering visitors opportunities for cycling, walking, and exploring the former Columbia-Moberly rail corridor.
The name changed from Rockport to Rocheport in 1825 following suggestions from a French missionary, with the term translating to rocky port.
