From our city's incorporation in 1906 by extraordinary entrepreneur, city founder and planner Edward Gardner Lewis, to ‘The Loop’, one of St. Louis’ favorite entertainment and shopping spots, our society is dedicated to preserving our history. We have many books and pamphlets on our history, which may be purchased here.
