Ahem... you're not alone...
The flag of St. Louis, Missouri, was designed by Yale University professor Theodore Sizer. The flag symbolizes the confluence of the Mississippi, and Missouri rivers near St. Louis. The intersection of the blue lines is covered by a fleur-de-lis, which symbolizes St. Louis's French heritage. Although the flag is strictly the municipal flag of St. Louis, it is sometimes flown over government buildings in St. Louis County. In a 2004 poll on the North American Vexillological Association website, St. Louis’ flag was voted the fifth best design among United States city flags.
Home town flag.
The name crève cœur (French, heartbreak) derives from Creve Coeur Lake, which was named for the tale of a lovelorn Indian girl whose broken heart led her to suicide off the famous dripping springs.
Written accounts and archaeological finds show that Native Americans inhabited the Creve Coeur area from 9500 B.C. to 1800 A.D. French explorers began farming and fishing in the area in the early 18th century, and fur trappers settled there in the early 19th century. When the area was acquired by the United States through the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the Lewis and Clark Expedition came through Creve Coeur. During the American Civil War, men from the area served on both sides of the conflict, but most residents were southern sympathizers.
