Geography

The district encompasses about two-thirds of St. Louis city limits, with the excluded portion (stretching from Forest Park down to Princeton Heights) lying within the neighboring 4th district.[4] Even so, the district does include the entire coastline of the Mississippi River along St. Louis. The district is also home to the Gateway Arch, the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium, Washington University, and the Old Courthouse of the Dred Scott decision.
