==Etymology==
Gasconade County (and the Gasconade River) received its name from French-speaking settlers. They came from the Gascony region in southwestern France during French colonial rule of New France (Louisiana Territory).
The French colonial inhabitants of this region had the same boastful character as the inhabitants of Gascony in France, hence the name ''Gasconade,'' meaning 'Gascony-like.'
