Fact text

  • Lake St. Louis started life as a weekend resort idea, but someone dreamed bigger and turned it into an entire planned city built around two private lakes.
  • The city was originally incorporated as "Harbor Town" in 1975 before residents voted to rename it Lake St. Louis, apparently the first name just didn't stick.
  • The community's very first family, the Neals, were so central to city life that their son Mike literally appeared as a kid actor in the development's TV and print ads.
  • Many residents of Lake St. Louis aren't actually allowed to use the lakes, the water is privately owned by a community association with limited membership.
