I live over on the Illinois side in Collinsville. St. Charles has really exploded in population over the past 20 years or so. If you haven't visited in a long time you may be surprised.


Hi Again, Steve.

I left St. Charles in 1965 and went back in 2001 and stayed until 2010. But I'd visited several times during that extended absence. My son-in-law was shocked when he heard about the rapid growth - he's never been anywhere near St. Louis. I told him to look it up because he didn't believe me. What he discovered, pretty much as I'd told him, the population of St. Charles County in 1990 was a little over 100,000. In 2010, the population was 385,000. He was shocked!

My late uncle lived in both Collinsville and Belleville in the 1970s and 1980s before he moved to Bowling Green, KY, where he died.

Best to you.

Alan
