History

St. Louis originally began in 1906 as a community named Simpsonville when J. R. Simpson opened a cotton gin, a gristmill and then a general store. It is unclear when the name of the community was changed to St. Louis. A town plat was not filed until March 9, 1927, and a post office was established in 1928. [5]

Except for a brief oil boom in the 1920s, the town's economy has been based on serving local cotton farmers. [5]

The population peaked at 493 residents in 1930 before declining in subsequent decades. It recovered back to 206 residents in 2000 but has declined more in recent times. [5]
