Carondelet Information
Carondelet is a neighborhood in the extreme southeastern portion of St.
Louis, Missouri. It was incorporated as an independent city in 1851 and was
annexed by the City of St. Louis in 1870. As of the 2000 Census, the
neighborhood has a population of 9,960 people.
In a 1799 census, Carondelet was described as "two leagues below St. Louis" and
having a population of 181 whites and 3 slaves.
Originally, the neighborhood was comprised of predominantly French and then
later German immigrants. Today the neighborhood contains a mixture of industrial
uses along the Mississippi River and residential and commercial uses further
from the river. Because it once existed as an independent village, the
neighborhood contains some of the oldest homes in St. Louis. Most of the housing
was constructed between 1880 and 1930. Housing in the area ranges from modest
single story cottages, to apartment buildings, to larger single family homes.
Most of the housing is of brick construction.
