History
The Illini Confederacy at one time dominated the lands where St Louis is now located. During the 17th century, the population of indigenous peoples in the area was well over tens of thousands, with a population of 20,000 in the Grand Village of Illinois. Indigenous peoples in the area built earthwork mounds on both sides of the Mississippi River, with the Cahokia, Cahokia Mounds being the regional center. Due to mounds inside city limits, St Louis still has a nickname of “Mound City.” Pierre Laclède, Pierre Laclede Liguest and his 13 year old grandson, Auguste Chouteau, selected St. Louis as the site for a French fur trading post in 1764 due to its proximity to the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, as well as its propensity to not flood. In 1770, St Louis ownership was transferred to Spain, and then returned to France during a secret treaty (Treaty of San Ildefonso (1796), Treaty of San Ildefonso), before becoming a part of the United States during the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. St Louis steadily grew after the Louisiana Purchase due to the city being the starting point for Lewis and Clark Expedition, Lewis and Clark and its access to water transportation. It was incorporated as a city in 1823. Between 1840 and 1860, the population exploded with immigrants, especially those of German and Irish descent. St Louis’s current boundaries were established in 1876. After the American Civil War, St Louis continued to grow into a major manufacturing center due to its access to rail and water transportation. By the 1890s, St Louis was the 4th largest city in the United States. In 1904 St Louis hosted the World's fair, world’s fair in Forest Park (St. Louis), Forest Park along with the Olympics at Francis Olympic Field, Washington University’s Francis Field. More than 20 million people visited the city during the fairs seven-month long run. St Louis was seen as a city of industrialization with ties to the automobile industry. The Great Migration between World War I and World War II brought thousands of African Americans to the city, boosting St Louis’s population to 800,000 by 1940. The population peaked in 1950 at 856,000, however there was no more room for expansion within city boundaries and earlier immigrant generations started moving to suburbs that could not be annexed. During the mid 1960s the Gateway Arch and Busch Stadium started being built in part to help revitalize the central business district with a 30 year downtown building boom following. Today, there is a continued population decline, however, revitalization efforts are still well under way.Political divisions in Greater St. Louis
