FERGUSON, MISSOURI
In 1845, Ohio born William B. Ferguson purchased a 177 acre
tract of land 12 miles northwest of St. Louis amidst the most
beautiful land he'd ever seen. In the 1850s, the North Missouri
Railroad contracted with Ferguson for a right-of-way through his
property. In return, the Railroad agreed to make a stop, put up a
depot and call it Ferguson Station. This depot became a hub from
which the city grew and prospered.
Today Ferguson is a thriving, diverse community
which still maintains its small town charm although it is only
minutes from Lambert International Airport and downtown St.
Louis. Recently, Ferguson has made national news as an
innovator in healthy, walkable, bikable communities with its
acclaimed Live Well Ferguson programs, award winning Farmers Market, and
fun Citywalk area. Ferguson is quickly becoming the
place to be "just north of ordinary."
