Community Profile
Perched just below the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, three hundred miles south of Chicago and north of Memphis, cosmopolitan St. Louis owes its vaguely European air to its history and developed cultural infrastructure. Founded in 1764, St. Louis is the largest urban area in Missouri and the 16th largest city in the United States. The Gateway Arch, part of a Memorial, towering 630 feet over the Mississippi River is easily the city's best-known landmark, as well as a popular tourist site. St. Louis is known for its sports and is home to the MLB’s Cardinals, NFL’s Rams and NHL’s Blues. The Hill is an historically Italian neighborhood where many of the area's best Italian restaurants can be found. Forest Park offers many of St. Louis' most popular attractions: the Saint Louis Zoological Park; the Municipal Theater; the St. Louis Science Center; the Saint Louis Art Museum; the Missouri History Museum; several lakes, and scenic open areas. St. Louis also hosts the world-renowned Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra which was founded in 1880 and is the second oldest orchestra in the nation.
