The history of Lake Saint Louis begins back in 1966 when R.T. Crow and other investors wanted to create a private weekend "get-away" lake community. Mr. Crow's vision for the area eventually changed to that of a town and after buying out the other investors and getting approval from St Charles County for the new town, the construction of the dam for the lake began in 1968. In 1975, the community was incorporated as the town of "Harbor Town" to avoid annexation by O'Fallon and Wentzville. It was in 1977 that the name was officially changed to "Lake Saint Louis".
