Manchester

County: Saint Louis

Although the community of Manchester was founded in the early 1800s, it was not until the mid-1950s that the area experienced large-scale growth.  In the last 40 years, the City of Manchester has blossomed from a rural farming town to a dynamic suburban community.  Pleasant residential neighborhoods appeal to newcomers to the metropolitan St. Louis area, attracting families and professionals to a wide variety of architectural styles and neighborhood settings.  Well-kept older homes blend with handsome new construction along tree-shaded streets.  A vibrant community, Manchester offers residents an impressive selection of year-round civic activities that include summer camps, clinics, community theater, and athletic and aquatic programs.  Those who appreciate the friendliness and sociability of a close-knit community will find an ideal home in Manchester, where friends, neighbors, and families frequently come together for picnics, fireworks, games, and barbecues in the warm summer months.
