The Martin–Boismenue House, built about 1790 by North American frontiersman Pierre Martin in what was at the time the French village of Pierre du Pont, is one of the oldest surviving structures in Illinois.

The region immediately around Cahokia, Illinois continued to speak French for several decades after the cession.
