St. Charles Movers
In the metro St. Louis area, moving across the river can mean many different things. Southwest of downtown, it could just mean moving up two streets in the same zip code. East of St. Louis, moving across the river means relocating to another state entirely. About twenty miles northwest of the St. Louis Arch, moving across the Missouri River will put you in the midst of history in St. Charles, Missouri.
If you’ve chosen to plant your roots in St. Charles, you’ve made a great decision. St. Charles was named by Time Magazine as the best city to live in Missouri and one of the top 50 cities to live in the United States. Louis Blanchette, a French-Canadian adventurer, thought so when he settled on the banks of the Missouri River in 1769 under the authority of the Spanish Governor of the Upper Louisiana territory. The first church in the area was built in 1791 and dedicated to San Carlos Borromeo. The town became known as San Carlos Del Misuri, or St. Charles of the Missouri. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1804, the town became St. Charles and even served as the temporary capital of Missouri after it gained statehood in 1821.
The 21st century has seen a population explosion in St. Charles County of 70% between 2000 and 2010 and nearly another 20% between 2010 and 2020. St. Charles is a vibrant and multicultural city with amenities for young and old alike. For families, the area is home to high quality public and private schools. The award winning Lindenwood University offers day and evening classes for all levels of post-secondary study. Let’s talk about fun, though. An exciting riverboat casino anchors a quaint historical district. Another two blocks south will put you in the center of bars, restaurants and all sorts of entertainment. Shoppers won’t be disappointed with boutiques to big box stores and a thriving mall.
