ADT-Monitored Home Security Service in Fenton, MO

Fenton is a city in St. Louis County, Missouri, United States, and a suburb of St. Louis. The population was 4,022 at the 2010 census.

Due to its proximity to fruitful land and the Meramec River, the Fenton Place has been inhabited for greater than 900 years. The earliest proof of ancient dwellers was excavated from the “Fenton Mounds”, two conical earthen burial mounds located near the southwestern link up of Fenton. Diagnostic pottery shards from the mounds indicate they date from the Mississippian times, A.D. 1050 – 1400. In 2001, the mounds were leveled, by developer Gary Grewe, for construction of a Walmart Supercenter.

The Fenton territory was occupied by Native Americans and in the future settlers in the 1770s. William Lindsay Long founded the city of Fenton on March 23, 1818. The indigenous eight-square-block area is now referred to as “Old Towne Fenton”. The city remained unincorporated for the neighboring 130 years. Garrett Hitzert was the city’s first mayor after incorporation in 1948, and his leadership helped build the establishment that much of the city’s ongoing material comfort has been based on. He conceived of Fenton’s expansive commercial business and industrial district that is a centerpiece of the city’s fiscal success.
