Kirkwood, MO History
Downtown Kirkwood in 2014. Image courtesy of Wikipedia.
The first planned suburb west of the Mississippi, Kirkwood was founded in 1853. Named after James P. Kirkwood, the builder of the Pacific Railway which ran through the town.
“Plans for a new community close to St. Louis were begun after the St. Louis fire of 1849 and the cholera outbreak, before and after the fire, that killed one-tenth of the residents of downtown St. Louis. Kirkwood was the first suburban municipality built outside of the St. Louis city boundaries.
Hiram W. Leffingwell and Richard Smith Elliott bought land 14 miles (23 km) from downtown in 1850, at about the same time James P. Kirkwood was laying out a route for the Pacific Railroad. Kirkwood was platted in 1852, and named for James P. Kirkwood, chief engineer of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. When the railroad reached the community in 1853, the developers sold lots for the Kirkwood Association. Other Leffingwell developments were to include the construction of Grand Avenue and the establishment of Forest Park.
The original town plat including quarter section blocks and families could be a block estate of 5 acres (20,000 m2). Deed restrictions prohibited industrial development.
The train station of Richardsonian Romanesque style was built in 1893. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), it has become a symbol of the town. It is the only station stop that Amtrak makes in the St. Louis metropolitan area outside the central city. Among the four other buildings in Kirkwood listed on the NRHP is a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Ebsworth Park Foundation.
In 1895, the Meramec Highlands resort was built on the bluffs above the Meramec River. Kirkwood won the Arbor Day Growth Award in 1993, 1997, 2003, and 2004. The city also won the America in Bloom 2007 Community Involvement Criteria Award”.[Excerpt from Wikipedia]
