It lies just to the northwest of St. Louis, Missouri, on the Missouri River, and played for a time a significant role in the United States' westward expansion. It is the second oldest city west of the Mississippi, founded in 1765 as Les Petites Côtes, "The Little Hills", by Louis Blanchette, a French Canadian fur trader, and was the last "civilized" stop for the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The city served as the first Missouri capital, from 1821 to 1826. It is the site for the Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne shrine. It is also the home base for the St. Louis National Weather Service Forecast Office, serving central, east-central and northeastern Missouri as well as west-central and southwest Illinois. In 2008, the CW show Farmer Wants a Wife, a somewhat fictional and contrived "reality show" was based in St. Charles County. read full wikipedia reference about Saint Charles, Missouri OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN MISSOURIBlue Springs Branson Bridgeton Cameron Cape Girardeau Chesterfield Columbia Fenton Hannibal Independence Jefferson City Joplin Kansas City Lake Ozark Lebanon Lees Summit Maryland Heights Osage Beach Rolla Sedalia Sikeston Springfield St. Charles St. Joseph St. Louis St. Robert West Plains |
