François Gesseau Chouteau (February 7, 1797 – April 18, 1838) was a French-American pioneer fur trader and entrepreneur from the prominent Chouteau fur-trading family. He is widely regarded as the "Father of Kansas City". Chouteau was born in St. Louis, which was co-founded within New Spain by his uncle Auguste Chouteau. He learned the family business from his father, Jean Pierre Chouteau, who presided over a vast trading empire. St. Louis was the center of American fur trade, sometimes called the "king of the fur trade". In 1819, he married Bérénice Thérèse Ménard, daughter of Pierre Menard, the first Lieutenant Governor of Illinois. For their honeymoon, they scouted up the Missouri River to find a site for their new trading post. In 1821, as an agent for John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company, Chouteau established the first permanent European-American settlement in the area that became Kansas City. Chouteau's Landing became a vital center for trade with Native American tribes, including the Osage Nation, Kansa, Shawnee, and Kickapoo. The settlement was known as Chez les Cansès (French for "at the place of the Kansa"), as the nucleus around which Kansas City grew. Chouteau and his wife were instrumental in establishing the community's first church in a log cabin, which evolved into the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. François Chouteau had ten children: a son, James, with an Osage woman, and nine children with Bérénice. He died in 1838 at age 41. Bérénice continued to manage the family's business interests and was a revered community matriarch known as the "Mother of Kansas City", "Grande Dame of Kansas City", and "the soul of the colony" until her death in 1888. The Chouteau Heritage Fountain is a modern monument commemorating their foundational role in the city's history.

St. Louis Truck Assembly was a General Motors automobile factory that built GMC and Chevrolet trucks, GM "B" body passenger cars, and the 1954–1981 Corvette models in St. Louis. Opened in the 1920s as a Fisher body plant and Chevrolet chassis plant, it expanded facilities to manufacture trucks on a separate line. During World War II, the plant produced the DUKW amphibious vehicles for the military. Another expansion was added for the Corvette line in 1953. On August 1, 1980, the Caprice/Impala assembly line was closed, contributing to the plant's closing in 1986. During the 1981 model year, Corvette production ended and shifted to Bowling Green Assembly Plant in Kentucky Thereafter, the factory only manufactured R- and V-series crew cab and cab/chassis trucks before that output was moved to GM's Janesville Assembly. Automobile production and maintenance workers were transferred from the closed truck line to the new Wentzville Assembly in 1986 which produced Buick and Oldsmobile front wheel drive replacements for the old rear wheel drive B Body cars. At its peak, the plant had 35,000 employees producing 560 vehicles per day. A total of 6,3 million were produced at St. Louis Truck Assembly.The plant closed on August 7, 1986, its future essentially sealed when GM closed the Caprice/Impala assembly on August 1, 1980 and began developing a new factory, Wentzville Assembly — a then-state of the art, 3.7 million square foot plant on 569 acres approximately 40 miles west of St. Louis, just off of I-70. As of 2022, the Union Seventy Center, a 161-acre industrial warehouse, stands where the former factory operated.
