In 1763, Pierre Laclede sailed from New Orleans up the Mississippi River to find a suitable location for a trading post in the Upper Louisiana territory. He found an ideal setting on top of a limestone bluff and named it for Louis IX of France. In 2015 St. Louis will serve as host for the AGO North-Central convention, scheduled from June 22-24, 2015.
