Delmar Loop
The Delmar Loop is an entertainment, cultural and restaurant district in University City, Missouri and the adjoining western edge of St. Louis, Missouri. Many of its attractions are located in the streetcar suburb of University City, but the area is expanding eastward into the Skinker-Debaliviere Neighborhood of the City of St. Louis proper. In 2007, the American Planning Association named the Delmar Loop "One of the 10 Great Streets in America."
==Origin==
The area gets its name from a streetcar turnaround, or "loop", formerly located in the area.
Delmar Boulevard was originally known as Morgan Street. According to Norbury L. Wayman in his ''circa'' 1980 series ''History of St. Louis Neighborhoods'',〔Norbury L. Wayman: ''History of St. Louis neighborhoods'', St. Louis, Mo., ''circa'' 1980 series, St. Louis Community Development Agency.〕 the name Delmar was coined when two early landowners living on opposite sides of the road, one from Delaware and one from Maryland, combined the names of their home states. The town of Delmar, Delaware, on the border between the two states, derived its name in similar fashion.
MetroLink light rail transit station is at the east side of the area. There are plans to build a trolley line from The Loop to the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park.
