St. Louis is the second-largest city in Missouri, United States. It is located near the confluence of the Mississippi and the Missouri rivers. In 2020, the city proper had a population of 301,578, while its bi-state metropolitan area, which extends into Illinois, had an estimated population of higher than 2.8ย million. It is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri and the second largest in Illinois.
Before European settlement, the area had been occupied for thousands of years by various Native American cultures. From regarding 900 to 1500 CE, it was a regional center of Mississippian culture, based in Cahokia east of the river, and extending across the continent along the Mississippi and its tributaries.
St. Louis was founded on February 14, 1764, by French fur traders Gilbert Antoine de St. Maxent, Pierre Laclรจde and Auguste Chouteau, all from New Orleans. They named it for king Louisย IX of France, and it speedily became the regional middle of the French Illinois Country. In 1764, France was defeated in the Seven Years’ War and was forced to cede its territory east of the Mississippi to Great Britain. It ceded its nominal claim to areas west of the river to Spain. In 1800, Spain retroceded Louisiana to France. Three years later, Napoleon gave up upon North America and sold the territory to the United States as share of the Louisiana Purchase.
