St. Charles, MissouriHistoric Saint Charles...the oldest city on the Missouri River located just west of St. Louis, has a unique historical perspective, beautiful sites, friendly people and a pace just a little slower than that of a big city. Saint Charles has carefully and lovingly preserved its heritage. Founded as Les Petites Cotes (The Little Hills) by French Canadian fur trader Louis Blanchette in 1765, Saint Charles grew into a thriving riverfront trading center for a then young America. From the ten-block nationally Registered Historic District, with its brick streets, gas lights and Missouri's First State Capitol, to the 26-block nationally Registered Frenchtown Neighborhood District and Lindenwood University campus, Saint Charles is a destination for almost one million visitors each year who experience the charm and beauty of a city that has been welcoming visitors since 1769. It is the site of many historic firsts including the Lewis and Clark Rendezvous, Zebulon Pike Expedition, Missouri's First State Capitol, the start of the Boone's Lick Trail and the drafting site of the Santa Fe Trail. Today, it serves as the county seat of the state's fastest growing county and is the second largest city in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Though preserving it's rich heritage is important to this historical city, emphasis is placed on progressing toward new growth and development, making St. Charles an industrious, vibrant community in one of the most dynamic regions of the country.
