Appanoose was a 19th-century Meskwaki chief who lived in Iowa; he was son of Taimah (Chief Tama) and probably a grandson of Quashquame. Prior to European-American settlement in the 19th century, the tribe occupied territory in what became Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa. Several place names and a US Navy ship honored Appanoose: * Appanoose County, Iowa * Appanoose County Courthouse * Appanoose County Community Railroad * Appanoose Township, Franklin County, Kansas * Appanoose Township, Hancock County, Illinois * USS Appanoose (AK-226), a Crater class cargo ship
