St. Ann History

The City of St. Ann has an interesting beginning. In 1942, it was the idea of Charles F. Vatterott to develop a community made up the workers of the nearby defense plants and their families. He was the developer and the builder of the homes and the businesses in the original site of the city that was dedicated to Saint Ann. What began as a housing project continued to grow into a permanent town and was officially incorporated in 1948 as the City of Saint Ann.

St. Ann Historic Landmark

A unique St. Louis County Landmark is located in St. Ann. There once was a drive-in movie theater on St. Charles Rock Road, the Airway Drive-In, built in 1948. There was only one screen, but the parking lot could hold up to 1,000 cars. Today, the movie screen is gone and the lot now holds a Shop 'n Save store, but the sign is still there. The landmark is the Airway Drive-in Sign. The City of St. Ann recognized its historical importance and it has been restored and adapted for use by the Shop 'n Save Store.
