In the late 18th Century,
French traders arrived
in the area that is
now Old Town St.
Peters. From
1830 to 1850, German
Catholics who settled
the little village joined
with most of the French
inhabitants. Through
the efforts of those
people, the area developed
into a prosperous farming
community. The settlement
took its name from the
first log church established
in 1815, called St.
Peters on Dardenne Creek.
