Benton Park: Past and Present

Home to St. Louis' second-oldest park, Benton Park earned the distinction as the largest historic district in St. Louis in 1985, and from its beginnings as a neighborhood in 1836 through to today, this neighborhood has maintained a prominent place in the city's heritage. 

Settled by a French utopian community and German immigrants as early as the 1700s, Benton Park is a diverse, vibrant gem of an urban neighborhood today. And it still has that utopian and European character—walkable amenities, beautiful architecture, and (we think) some of the best neighbors in St. Louis.

Our residents are creatives, professionals, small businesses, growing families, single folks, and retirees. Our volunteer-based neighborhood association, the Benton Park Neighborhood Association (BPNA), works to sustain an informed and active neighborhood, oversee sound city planning, and responsive government—all to serve the residents and businesses of the Benton Park neighborhood better.
