The city of Cottleville marks the 225th anniversary of it’s founding, making it one of the oldest cities in the state of Missouri By Brett Auten Nor too long before its now-familiar sputter of golf carts and restaurants bustling, the city of Cottleville had its salad days. “It was kind of run down,” Scott Lewis, Cottleville historian, said. “It needed to be cleaned up. It needed redevelopment. It
needed some reason to encourage people to locate here.” When not the official historian for Cottleville, Lewis has a side gig as sheriff of St. Charles County. He was chief of police for 18 years, beginning in 1997. He was also a city administrator for 15 years. As one of the oldest cities in St. Charles County, Cottleville has been working to preserve
and enhance its historic downtown district which it is becoming noted for. It plans to celebrate the 225th anniversary of its founding throughout 2023, beginning with the selling celebration spirit wear, including shirts and hats that can be found on its website. See ‘COTTLEVILLE’ page 2
