Arnold was incorporated in 1972, and is named after George Arnold, the city's first postmaster. Four
communities merged with Arnold, and their old names still have some currency: Beck (named after
local farmer Emmanual Beck), Flamm City, Maxville (named after Max Stengel, first business owner),
and Ten Brook (named after landowner John Ten Brook).
The first European settler in Arnold was Jean Baptiste Gamache, who operated a ferry boat across
the Meramec River in exchange for 1050 arpents of land granted by the King of Spain. This ferry was
on the King's Trace or El Camino Real, (royal road), from St. Louis, Missouri, to Ste. Genevieve,
Missouri. This road became known as Telegraph after 1850, after the first telegraph lines in the state
were put along it.
Arnold is a thriving and prosperous community located just 20 miles south of St. Louis where the
Meramec River joins the Mighty Mississippi. As the largest city in Jefferson County with a population
of 20,082, Arnold is the southern gateway to St. Louis.

Jefferson County is a county located in the U.S. state of
Missouri, and included the mean center of U.S. population in
1980. Jefferson County is part of the St. Louis Metro Area. As
of 2000, the population was 198,099. Its county seat is
Hillsboro. The county was organized in 1818 and named in
honor of former President Thomas Jefferson.
European settlement of Jefferson County began in the late
1700’s. It was organized in 1818 and named in honor of
former President Thomas Jefferson. Archeologists have
found remains of eight different Indian cultures dating back
10,000 years. Christian Wilt and John Honey laid out new
Hartford, the first town in the county, in 1806, near present
day Herculaneum. Along with seven other counties,
Jefferson County was formed from parts of Saint Louis and
Ste. Genevieve Counties by an “Act of the Territory”
December 8, 1818. It was named “Jefferson” in honor of the
third President of the United States and father of the
Louisiana Purchase. Herculaneum, with a population of 200,
was named the first county seat in 1821, the same year
Missouri attained statehood. By 1831, a more central
location for a county seat was desired. At the west edge of
Hillsboro flowed a spring. A good water source and the fact
that Hillsboro was a stopping point in the trail that passed
between Potosi and St. Louis became deciding factors in
relocating the county seat. The railroad shops of De Soto, the
discovery of high quality sand in Crystal City, the
establishment of the largest lead smelter in the United
States, and the entry of the Frisco Railroad added greatly to
the county's continued growth.
