Question

Cahokia

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cahokia was a well-developed trade center located near present-day St. Louis. It was one of the largest indigenous cities in North America, with a population estimated to be between 10,000 to 20,000 people at its peak. Its trade network extended to other regions, including the Great Lakes, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic coast. There is no evidence that it was a military stronghold or founded by the Adena-Hopewell culture, and it was abandoned before Europeans arrived in the area.
