    St. Charles is one of the oldest cities west of the Mississipi River. The city was founded in 1769 as Les Petites Cotes ("The Little Hills") by French Canadian fur trader Louis Blanchette. The Spanish government controlled the Mississippi Valley between 1762-1800, and for a dozen years "The Little Hills" became "San Carlos Borromeo." In 1804, on the banks of the mighty Missouri River, Lewis and Clark met here to begin their westward expedition. Shortly thereafter, the city became known as "Saint Charles.“
    Throughout the 19th Century, German settlers developed a wine region and brought their food, fellowship and commerce to this booming pioneer town. During the 20th Century, residents worked to preserve homes, stores and streets from every period.
    St. Charles is a great place to walk to see the beautifully preserved homes and stores. There are also some great parks with fantastic views of the Missouri River.
