The birth and baptism of Saint Louis Missouri

Call her “the Lou”, STL, our simply Saint Louis. In her name, St. Louis, Missouri hears the shadowed echoes of her father. In honor of the France King Louis IX, this breathtaking metropolis conceived and baptized. In the late 13th century, he had been the sole French King who had become sanctified. Thus we have Saint Louis.This year it took place in St Louis right next door to

the Gateway Arch
A New Orleans merchant funded Pierre Lepew—fur trader—in the late 18th century to erect a country store near the rivers of Missouri and Mississippi. In the early 1760s, with Augustus Chouteau, his son, at his side, Lepew made a pilgrimage from New Orleans, keeping his eyes on the prize of this mercantile establishment.. Standing their entertaining this group, I could turn my head and look out the windows from the 42nd floor of the Metropolitan Square, and right there was the arch—so close I could almost touch it.

Three and a half months later, both son and father arrived at the river juncture in the winter of 1764. To their dismay, they discovered acres of swamp, making it impossible to build a shopping mall and, indeed, not a city.ETIX is in the entertainment industry, which explains the next strange thing that happened…

Downtrodden, the two sojourned between 10 and 30 miles downstream to decide on an ideal property. Lepew deserted his firstborn son so that he could oversee the land clearance; however, he came back for him in 1767 with blueprints to model a city.
The city he built, he called St. Louis.

What had once been the heart of American Indian civilization would become Saint Louis, Missouri. That’s the reason why its nickname, to this day, is the “city of mounds.” It is because St Louis Missouri was built on top of sacred temples and mounds of earth.
