Richmond Heights

The city of Richmond Heights, located in St. Louis County, is a community rich in history. Incorporated in 1913, Richmond Heights was established as a residential suburb of St Louis. Early residents included the McCutcheon, Barron, Niesen, Grove, Brennan, Gay, Buehning, and DeBolt families. The introduction of modern highways and commerce altered the city s physical character, which prompted this publication. The authors hope this book encourages the citizens of Richmond Heights and others to embrace the city s history and promote preservation of its historic resources."
