Interesting Information About St. Louis

St. Louis and Gratiot County -- St. Louis is the geographic center of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. St. Louis has a wide variety of businesses in the service, industrial, retail, housing, and restaurant sectors. Things to do include visiting the GEM theater, visit several antique shops, swim in the W.T. Morris Memorial public pool, rent a boat form Pine River Outfitters for fishing and much, much more!

St. Louis History -- St. Louis was founded in 1853. It was known as Pine River. The first school was built in 1857. The village became known as St. Louis in 1865. In the 1860's, settlers came upon a well of water in which a man placed his crippled hand and was miraculously able to flex his finders later, which brought many people the area because word spread that it was 'healing water.' This continued until the 1880's and beyond. St. Louis businesses were flourishing around the turn of the century. St. Louis continued to flourish through the 20th century despite a setback when a chemical company was found to have contaminated the water. The company had history going back to 1935. Today, millions of dollars are being invested to beautify and redevelop the city.
