Ferguson Localities Missouri United States

Ferguson, Missouri Ferguson, located in North St. Louis County, Missouri, is most well known for its Train Depot near the historic downtown area in this heavily residential suburb of St. Louis. It is filled with many recreational areas such as January Wabash Park, adjacent to Ferguson Middle School, with a community pool, fishing pond and a summer movie in the park. It also shares the school district with neighboring Florissant. With Mr. January’s connection to the original Wabash line that ran west of the Mississippi River , along with the fact that he served as a director and member of the Location and Construction Committee of the North Missouri Railroad Company in 1855, it is felt that this must have affected the decision to build a station here. Within a short time, the railroad contracted to use and enlarge the lake that had been built to the east of the January home. An underground pipe was laid from the pond to the watertank on the west side of the tracks, and as late as 1883, the railroad company had a perpetual license to flood seven acres of the January property.
