The city of Quincy, Illinois, was named after John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States. The name was chosen by the town's founder, John Wood, who was an admirer of Adams. Quincy was established in 1825 and quickly grew due to its strategic location along the Mississippi River and its role as a trade hub. The name reflects the city's early connections to national politics and leadership.
The Duke of Braintree was a sarcastic reference to his grandiose airs. It referenced the town of Braintree, Massachusetts, where Adams was born. Braintree was later split into several towns. The birthplace of John Adams, located at the base of Penn's Hill, on the line between modern Braintree and the city of Quincy, is in what is now the City of Quincy, Massachusetts. The sarcastic reference to "Duke" was based on Adams' laughed at suggestion that a more heraldic or majestic reference be used to address the person who holds the office of President of the United States, than merely "Mr. President."
