Benton Park, St. Louis
Benton Park is a neighborhood in eastern St. Louis, Missouri, just west of the Soulard neighborhood. The official boundaries of the area are Gravois Avenue on the north, Cherokee Street on the south, I-55 on the east, and Jefferson Avenue on the west.〔(Neighborhood Data Profile for Benton Park. Accessed 15 April 2008. )〕 Benton Park is unrelated to Benton Place, a private street located in Lafayette Square, St. Louis.
The area now comprising Benton Park was first used as the City Cemetery. Those buried in the cemetery were relocated in 1865, and the neighborhood was created on June 25, 1866, by city ordinance.〔(History of St. Louis Neighborhoods - Benton Park. Accessed 17 April 2008. )〕 The neighborhood was later renamed after Thomas Hart Benton, the first U.S. Senator representing the people of Missouri. As the neighborhood grew, it attracted several breweries due to its location above a system of caves that were ideal for beer storage, or "lagering" in German, as many of the popular German styles require. The most noteworthy of these was the Lemp Brewery, which still stands today, although defunct.〔(Living in Benton Park - About the History. Accessed 17 April 2008. )〕
