Now known for horse farms, forward-thinking urban planning and high end housing, Wildwood is the city that invented itself in the early 1990s to become one of Missouri"s newest and largest cities. A must-have for prospective and current residents as well as anyone interested in St. Louis history, this volume about Wildwood gives an overview of an area with a fascinating past. Along with the Virginia settlers and solid German farmers who tamed the forested wilderness, the history was also shaped by Route 66 roadways, company towns, the clubhouse era, a group of committed tree huggers and the westward movement of the city of St. Louis. Illustrated with dozens of vintage maps and photos.
