Brazeau Creek is a stream flowing through Perry County, Missouri and emptying into the Mississippi River.

[7] The leader of this group, Joseph Fenwick, left New Bourbon village, possibly over issues of land-ownership or to relocate himself beyond easy reach of the colonial officials.

[8] The presence of so many Indians probably caused Fenwick to give up his plans and instead establish a settlement at the mouth of Brazeau Creek on the Mississippi River.

Soon after, Protestant English and Scots-Irish settlers arrived from North Carolina.

[10][11] In 1839, German Lutheran immigrants from the Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg arrived and established a number of "colonies" in the vicinity of Brazeau Creek.
