"River Des Peres" translates to "River of the Fathers" in French, and it received its name by the Jesuit Catholic priests that resided near the confluence of the river with the Mississippi in the early 1700s. Today, it plays a crucial role in the sanitary and stormwater systems in the city of St. Louis area.
