8 Things to do in East Saint Louis That You Shouldn't Miss

November 4, 2021 Deane Carmody

East St. Louis is a city in St. Clair County, Illinois, across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri, in the Metro-East region of Southern Illinois. Once a bustling industrial center like many cities in the Rust Belt, East St. Louis has been severely affected by loss of jobs due to deindustrialization during the second half of the 20th century. In 1950, East St. Louis was the fourth largest city in Illinois when population peaked at 82,366. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 27,006, less than one-third of the 1950 census.

This is the best view of the Gateway Arch and riverfront in the metro area. On the original Bloody Island site the park is an impressive achievement in a City of true Champions!!
