Founded by William B. Ferguson in 1894 as a Wabash Railroad station, this Missouri town honors its founder with a bust of William B. Ferguson, created by sculptor William N. Duncan in the lobby of the Ferguson City Hall. Must be nice to have a town named after you!

Located in St. Louis County not far from downtown St. Louis, Missouri, Ferguson is about 6.2 miles in size, with just over 21,000 residents. The town has an interesting claim to fame -- its streetcar line. The Florissant streetcar line was the longest streetcar route in the United States and began as the West End Narrow Gauge Railway. When the streetcar line ended around 1950, replaced by bus lines, the history of public transportation in town made Ferguson easily accessible and a popular residence known for its great shopping options, lovely parks and green space.
