About Creve Coeur, Missouri: A Lake, A Legend and the Mother Road
Creve Coeur is a vibrant city in St. Louis County. The town holds a unique and scenic place on the 1926-1977 alignment of Route 66. Its name, French for "broken heart," comes from the picturesque Creve Coeur Lake, an oxbow of the Missouri River that inspired local legends of unrequited love among French settlers in the 1700s. This romantic origin gives the community a distinctive identity, setting the stage for its later role along the Main Street of America.
Incorporated in 1949, Creve Coeur grew into a welcoming hub for motorists traveling west from St. Louis. The town's stretch of Route 66 was lined with classic motels, diners and service stations, where weary travelers could rest and refuel before continuing their journey. Though many of those roadside businesses have since disappeared or evolved, they left behind a legacy of hospitality that remains central to the city's character.
The motto "Heart Breakers" playfully ties back to the community's French name while celebrating its quirky pride as a Route 66 town. Today, Creve Coeur honors that heritage even as it embraces modern vibrancy. The City's scenic trails, expansive parks and thriving neighborhoods reflect its evolution from a historic stopover into a flourishing community, where the spirit of the Mother Road blends seamlessly with the comforts of contemporary life.
In Creve Coeur, the story of Route 66 is more than just roadside nostalgia: it's a legacy of romance, resilience and community pride that continues to shape a flourishing city while keeping the spirit of the Mother Road alive.
