Creve Coeur, Missouri
Creve Coeur (/ˈkriːv kɔːr/ KREEV kor or /ˈkrɛv kɔːr/ KREV kor) is a city in St. Louis County, Missouri, United States, that is part of Greater St. Louis. Its population was 18,834 at the 2020 census. Creve Coeur borders and shares a ZIP Code (63141) with the neighboring city of Town and Country. It is home to the headquarters of Drury Hotels, and was the home of Monsanto until its acquisition by Bayer in 2018.
The name crève-cœur (French: [krɛv.kœʁ]; French for 'heartbreak') is said to derive from Creve Coeur Lake. According to the city's website, the tale goes that the lake "formed itself into a broken heart" after an Indian princess's unrequited love for a French fur trapper led her to jump "from a ledge overlooking" the lake.
Written accounts and archaeological finds show that Native Americans inhabited the Creve Coeur area from 9500 BC to 1800 AD. French explorers began farming and fishing in the area in the early 18th century, and fur trappers settled there in the early 19th century. When the area was acquired by the United States through the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the Lewis and Clark Expedition came through Creve Coeur. During the American Civil War, men from the area served on both sides of the conflict, but most residents were southern sympathizers.
Creve Coeur was incorporated in 1949. Although cabins more than 200 years old (including two still in Conway Park) are in the community, it grew primarily as a stopping point along Olive Boulevard (now Route 340) between University City and Creve Coeur Lake. It expanded faster following construction of Interstate 270 and U.S. Route 40.
The lake and its associated park of the same name, which was the first county park in St. Louis County, is now part of Maryland Heights to the north of Creve Coeur.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.27 square miles (26.60 km2), all land.
Ranked third in highest assessed value in St. Louis County the median income for a household in the city was $94,852, and the median income for a family was $99,100. Males had a median income of $65,106 versus $39,102 for females. The per capita income for the city was $59,496. About 1.8% of families and 2.9% of the population were below the poverty line, including 1.8% of those under age 18 and 2.7% of those age 65 or over.
As of the 2020 census, Creve Coeur had a population of 18,834, with 8,358 households and 4,817 families. The median age was 44.3 years; 17.6% of residents were under the age of 18 and 24.2% were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 92.1 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 89.2 males age 18 and over. 100.0% of residents lived in urban areas, while 0.0% lived in rural areas.

About 35.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 15.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. There were 8,988 housing units, of which 7.0% were vacant.
