St. Louis, Missouri

factoring companies in St. Louis.St. Louis, Missouri is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River and right on the border of Missouri and Illinois. St. Louis is known for the Gateway Arch, a 630-foot monumental arch built in 1965 to commemorate the westward expansion of the United States. It is the world’s tallest arch and is located at the site of the founding of St. Louis.

History

The first known inhabitants of St. Louis were the mysterious Native American mound builders. In the late 1700s, French explorers arrived and their scouts chose the area of present day St. Louis for their fur trading post, as its proximity to the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio Rivers provided the ideal location for trade. In 1803, this area was transferred from the French to the United States as part of the land included in the Louisiana Purchase. Shortly after the Louisiana Purchase, St. Louis acted as the starting point for the Lewis and Clark Expedition – the historical first trek made by European descendants across the western part of the United States. After it officially became a city in 1832, the population of St. Louis increased dramatically as it emerged as a commerce and trade center. In the beginning of the 1800s, much of the industry was the fur trade. However, as the fur trade began to decline, St. Louis became an important river port. In fact, paddle wheelers were the main mode of transportation on the Mississippi River from 1830-1860.

Manufacturing

Staying in line with its historical economy, St. Louis still has a strong and diverse manufacturing sector. Part of the draw for the manufacturing industry today is in line with what drew the French to establish it as a trading post in 1764 – its close proximity to main rivers, allowing for the efficient transportation of goods. In fact, the Port of St. Louis is the third busiest inland port in the United States. The port is 70 miles long, with 19 miles of it directly accessible to the city. The port also provides access to both sides of the Mississippi River. Some of the major manufacturing companies that have operations in St. Louis include Anheuser-Busch, Boeing, General Motors, and Monsanto, among others. On average, the St. Louis manufacturing industry exports approximately $19 billion worth of goods and services per year. Although manufacturing companies in the city export a wide variety of goods, aircraft products and parts have recently become the largest share of all exports in St. Louis.

Rail Industry

The rail industry in St. Louis also provides an efficient way to transport goods. In fact, St. Louis has the third largest rail hub in the United States. This industry generates almost $3.2 billion to the Gross State Product annually and provides a wide variety of jobs, both directly involved in the rail industry and indirectly in the businesses that use it. In Missouri over $7.2 billion in commodities are shipped using the rail industry and a significant portion of those come from, or travel through, St. Louis.
