The County of St. Louis County is the result of the City of St. Louis having decided in the late 1800's that the boundaries of the City had extended far enough. So, in their infinite wisdom, the elected officials drew a half circle created the separation of the City of St. Louis and the "hinterlands" that has become known as St. Louis County.
Today, the County of St. Louis County has become a collection of some 97 municipalities - each with their own characteristic and definition of their political body. While there are some unifying aspects of this group, there is far more variance than similarities. For example if you were talking to a person who grew up in the St. Louis area, you wouldn't ask the person which college they went to but you would ask them which high school did they attend.
Below is a list of the many municipalities that are in the County. Over the years, there have been many failed attempts to consolidate or to reduce the numbers. Each of the 97 communities have their own particular flavor which results in a very strong attitude that provides a flavor that is often unique. It is quite important when deciding on to purchase a home that you investigate the city so that you fully understand the characteristics of that particular city.
