The St. Louis metropolitan area, St. Louis City and County and surrounding counties
such as St. Charles and Jefferson, is the 18th largest population center in the
United States. With approximately three million people, St. Louis boasts a healthy
and growing economic climate. Because of its historic role in the nation's westward
expansion, St. Louis is nicknamed, "The Gateway to the West." The 630-foot tall
stainless steel Gateway Arch is the tallest man-made monument in the United States.
Each year tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world take the ride to the
top of the Arch for a stunning view of the St. Louis metropolitan area.
