The city was first founded in 1763 as a river city and trading post, but quickly grew into a regional powerhouse. It\’s location on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers made steamboat and riverboat traffic stop at St Louis, and constant trading helped the city grow.
This was also helped by the huge influx of immigrants that came to the city in the 1840’s, namely from Ireland, who came to the city and helped raise the population levels in the urban centers as well as giving the city a distinct flavor. Recently, the city has been hit hard by urban decay and white flight, but in 2006 was given the 2006 World Leadership Award in congratulations on their urban renewal programs.
