The eastern end of Missouri's Highway 6 is in Marion County at Highway 61 just 5 miles from the Missouri-Illinois border. Like the early pioneers did, Highway 6 treks west across the midwestern prairie, meandering through towns like Edina, Kirksville, Milan, Trenton, Gallatin, Maysville and eventually settles down and ends in St. Joseph where it becomes Frederick Avenue. Officially, Frederick begins at the intersection of Highway 6 and Riverside Road, and ends in the heart of downtown at the odd five-way intersection of Frederick, Francis and 9th - a length of approximately 4.6 miles. St. Joseph was founded by Joseph Roubidoux, and several of it's streets are named for his wife (Angelique) and children (Messanie, Faraon, Jules, Francis, Felix, Edmond, Charles and Sylvanie). However, Frederick avenue was named in honor of the man Roubidoux hired to lay out his town, Frederick W. Smith.
