Saint Louis Neighborhoods The City of St. Louis is divided into 81 neighborhoods--79 officially. These divisions have no legal standing, although some neighborhood associations administer grants or hold veto power over historic-district development. Nevertheless, the social and political influence of neighborhood identity is profound. Some hold avenues of massive stone edifices built as palaces for heads of state visiting the 1904 Worlds Fair. Others offer tidy working-class bungalows, hip loft districts, or areas hard-hit by social problems and unemployment. Many of them have retained--quite consciously and deliberately--a camaraderie that is missing from many American towns today. Among the best-known, architecturally significant, or well-visited neighborhoods are: Benton Park, placed on the National Register of Historic Places as Missouris largest Federal Register District in 1985 Carondelet Central West End Clayton/Tamm Downtown St. Louis The Hill, St. Louis world-renowned Little Italy Lafayette Square Midtown St. Louis Shaw, home to the Missouri Botanical Garden and named after the Gardens founder, Henry Shaw Soulard, home of the second-largest Mardi Gras festival in the nation Tower Grove East, named for nearby Tower Grove Park Tower Grove South Wydown/Skinker Tonight...Mostly cloudy...Becoming partly cloudy toward daybreak.
