5906 Gateway Industrial Dr

Located about 15 miles southeast of Downtown St. Louis, Belleville is convenient to Scott Air Force Base, the Mississippi River, the St. Louis Downtown Airport, the Gateway Arch, Anheuser-Busch, and the Saint Louis Zoo. Belleville isn't a typical suburban city, though -- it is one of the most populated cities in Illinois, and it is an All-America City. It is also a college town, home to Southwestern Illinois College, the Saint Louis University Family Medicine Residency, and Lindenwood University-Belleville.

Founded in 1814, Belleville is home to some fascinating historic sites, such as the Gustave Koerner House, first built in 1849. The Labor & Industry Museum explores Belleville's history as one of the state's most important industrial centers. Downtown Belleville contains beautiful historic buildings filled with shops and restaurants along brick-paved sidewalks. Downtown hosts a variety of events, including Art on the Square, one of the nation's top-ranking fine arts shows.
