Event: U.S. Arsenal Established in St. Louis Brief Description: In 1827, Congress passed an act authorizing a U.S. Arsenal at St. Louis. Construction began at what is now Second and Arsenal Streets in the same year. The site was then considered remote, as it was over a mile south of the city limits, and the only bridge crossing Mill Creek was on the unpaved road to Carondelet. Year: 1827 Decade: 1820 - 1829 Beginning Date: 1827 |
