City Government

The form of government is provided by State Statute.  There is a city-wide election for the Board of Councilpersons and a Mayor.  The council is elected for a two-year term and the Mayor for a four-year term.  The City appoints a City Administrator, who serves as the Chief Administrative Officer of the City and oversees the day-to-day operations.  Other professional and technical staff are appointed or employed in various positions and departments.

A Brief History of Normandy

Land speculator, J.B.C (Charles) Lucas, obtained property from the Federal Government with land grants and he purchased the land from victims of the New Madrid Earthquake of 1811.  Charles, son of Jean Baptiste Lucas, named the land after the homeland of his Father -- Normandy, France.

Charles Lucas settled on a huge tract of land that we now know as Incarnate Word Academy. Charles met an untimely end when he was killed in a second dual with Thomas Hart Benton in 1817.  Upon his death all of his land was left to his sister, Anne and his brother, James.  Anne later married Theodore Hunt who died in 1832.  Four years later, Anne married her deceased husband's cousin, Wilson Price Hunt.

Anne Hunt built her home in 1820 and called it "The Shelter". The Shelter was passed on to her daughter, Julia Hunt Turner. Julia and her husband raised their 17 children at the Shelter.  In 1908, the home was destroyed by fire.  The present house, found at 7836 Natural Bridge, was built in 1909 on the site of the original homestead and for many years was used by Convent of Our Lady of the Cenacle as a retreat house for women.  This house, steeped in history, is now the property of the Normandy School District.

One of the truly historical sites in Normandy still in existence is the "Hunt House".  The Hunt House was the home of Wilson Price Hunt, grandson of Anne Lucas Hunt.  He build his home at 7717 Natural Bridge, which was completed in 1904.  He finished his fine home just in time to entertain his friends that were coming to St. Louis for the 1904 World's Fair.

 

Another grand home, the "Hardy House", was built in Normandy around the turn of the century.  John Mullanphy completed this house at 415 Bermuda Road in 1893.  The property was sold to Walter Hardy in 1918.  Hardy was a wealthy businessman and owner of Hardy Salt Company of St. Louis.  His wife donated the property to the Normandy School District after his death.  This site at the intersection of Bermuda and Florissant Roads, has been used as the Normandy School District Reading Clinic for years.  Currently the building is under renovation for use as an Administrative extension. There are several other century old homes on the west end of Augusta.

By 1985, all the open land in Normandy along the railroad lines, with the exception of the 157 acres of the Hunt estate, had been subdivided and offered for sale for residential and business use.  It became one of the first suburbs of the City of St. Louis.

"Street Suburb" was the nickname given to growing communities in the county such as Normandy.  The City Limits Street Car was the line that served the Normandy area, transporting the residents to the bustling commercial district of Wellston.  Also know as the Wellston Loop, residents could go shopping, banking or make a transfer to another streetcar that would take them downtown or anywhere in the City of St. Louis. (Erastus Wells built the first streetcar line to the county and the City of Wellston is named after him.)

Normandy was officially incorporated as a Town in May of 1945.  On May 10, 1977, Normandy annexed Berdell Hills.  In June 1977, Normandy became a "Third Class City".

More in-depth information on the history of the Normandy area is available at St. Louis County Library - Natural Bridge Branch; Mercantile Library - UMSL; UMSL - Library; Lion of the Valley, a book by James Neal Frimm.
