Old Jamestown Association

The Old Jamestown Area is bounded by natural streams on the north and south. The Missouri River was the route of the Lewis and Clark expedition and Coldwater Creek was a clear, free flowing stream used by the early Indians. The roads bounding the east and west begin in the City of St. Louis and extend from the Halls Ferry Circle to the Missouri River. They were used by early settlers to transport farm produce and merchandise to and from St. Louis.

The Old Jamestown Association promotes the Old Jamestown Area as a better place to live; facilitates communications between residents and the St. Louis County government and neighboring communities; provides educational resources to residents and St. Louis County; advocates for procedures which are compatible with the environmental fragility and geological uniqueness of the area, and generally acts in such ways and in such manner that will make the area a better, healthier, more agreeable, and more beautiful place in which to live.
