History

Saint Louis is the primary city name, but also Affton, Grantwood Village, Grantwood Vlg, Lakeshire, Mackenzie, Marlborough, Saint George are acceptable city names or spellings, Green Park, Wilbur Park on the other hand no longer accepted or obsolete and are no longer used as a designation. St. Louis was a center of the Native American Mississippian culture, which built numerous temple and residential earthwork mounds on both sides of the Mississippi River. The earliest European settlements in the area were built in the Illinois Country (also known as Upper Louisiana) during the 1690s and early 1700s at Cahokia, Kaskaskia, and Fort de Chartres. In 1764, after France lost the Seven Years' War, Pierre Laclède and his stepson Auguste Chouteau founded what was to become the city of St. Louis. The French families built the city's economy on the fur trade with the Osage, as well as with more distant tribes along the Missouri River. French colonists used African slaves as domestic servants and workers in the city. The city was attacked by British forces, mostly Native American allies, in 1780 during the American Revolutionary War. In the early 1800s, the city was not recognized by any of the governments. It was thought to be under the control of the Spanish government, but no one asserted any authority over it.
