In 1769 a French-Canadian named Louis Blanchette established the first European settlement on the Missouri River. Blanchette named the village Les Petite Cotes (The Little Hills). That original name gives St. Charles’ largest event of the year its name. The Festival of the Little Hills draws over 300,000 visitors annually and features over 300 craft booth, demonstrations, live music at venues throughout the grounds, other entertainment, food and refreshments.
