About Des Peres

Des Peres is a small city in west St. Louis County, part of the inner suburban ring around St. Louis. Its name comes from the River des Peres, and the area has much older Indigenous history connected to peoples including the Cahokia and Kaskaskia. Modern Des Peres is mostly residential and commercial, known locally for strong municipal services, shopping access, and a nearby location near major west-county roads rather than for a large traditional downtown.
