La Grange is a city in Lewis County, Missouri, United States. The population was 931 at the 2010 census. Since the 1960 census, the population has been dwindling. It is part of the Quincy, IL–MO Micropolitan Statistical Area. ==History== In 1885, the Supreme Court ruled against the city in ''Cole v. La Grange''. The court found that the city could only use eminent domain powers for public purposes and not to specifically benefit the La Grange Iron and Steel Company. In 1858 the Southern Baptists opened the LaGrange Male and Female Seminary. It later became LaGrange College, with a two-year junior college program. In 1928 it moved to Hannibal as Hannibal–LaGrange College (now Hannibal–LaGrange University). In 2002, the Mark Twain Casino opened in a stationary riverboat. In 2010, Officer Doug Howell of the LaGrange PD shot and killed a restrained dog in an incident that LaGrange is perhaps best known for today. The city ultimately settled a lawsuit on the matter for $50,000. Officer Howell remains employed. 〔http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/case-involving-police-officer-who-shot-killed-man-s-dog/article_9d52f191-c718-5633-a285-00ada171bc16.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Grange, Missouri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
