History
The historical anecdotes contained in this section were derived from the 2011 book Ladue Found, written by Charlene Bry, former editor and owner of The Ladue News.
Ladue began as a farming community and St. Louis County suburb. After St. Louis City ejected St. Louis County in 1876, Ladue was known as ranges 4 and 5 of "Township 45", with Clayton being the political hub. Original Township 45 farming families included the Dennys, Dwyers, Conways, McCutcheons, McKnights (all Irish), Litzsinger, von Schraders, Spoedes, Luedloffs, Muellers, Seiberts (all German), LaDues (French), Warsons, Lays, Barnes, Prices, and Watsons (all English), according to a 1868 Pitzman map of St. Louis, as well as 1878 and 1909 maps of St. Louis County.
