Cottleville History

The City of Cottleville was incorporated in 1853 but had its beginning much earlier than that. Captain Warren G. Cottle came to the area in 1798 to settle on a extensive Spanish land grant he received. His heirs platted part of their land south of the Dardenne Creek and named the town "Cottleville" in honor of their father. Boone's Lick Trail was a major trail bringing settler's, explorers, wagon trains and others westward from St Louis and ran right through the area of what was to become Cottleville. Many travelers were heading further west to meet up with the Oregon Trail or the Sante Fe Trail or the California Trail. Those on the Boone's Lick Trail would have to cross the Dardenne Creek and because of flooding or just plain bad weather, the creek was impassible at times. Travelers would become stranded for extended lengths of time, so businesses began to spring up to provide services and supplies for them. Many of those travelers just stayed and thus the town of Cottleville grew.
