ADT-Monitored Home Security Service in Lake St. Louis, MO

The City of Lake St. Louis is a planned community situated something like two lakes with Interstate 70 and Interstate 64 in western St. Charles County, Missouri, United States. The population was 16,707 as of the 2020 US Census.

In January 1961, Ellis Ellerman and Ira Nathan start developing plans for a private resort community, a popular concept in the 1960s in the St. Louis region. The vision was for a weekend resort gone a lake large sufficient for recreation and a location near to St. Louis. Ellerman and Nathan hired engineers to start the initial planning of the lake and community, and Nathan named the project “Lake St. Louis” in 1961.

Ellerman and Nathan formed Trails Lake Development Corp. in 1962, and by August 31 of that year, 10 lots had already been sold in the project, which was to feature a 625 lake (PD article 8-25-63). Ellerman and Nathan lacked welcome financing and concern experience, and they soon found themselves in exceeding their heads upon the project. Ellerman and Nathan were soon allied by several supplementary investors to keep the project afloat, including R. T. Crow. The financial troubles continued for Ellerman and Nathan, and The Healey Discount Corp., owned by Crow and the three other investors, foreclosed on Ellerman and Nathan’s Trails Lake Development Corp. in June 1966.
