Comment: St. Louis, located in eastern Missouri, across the Mississippi River from Illinois, is the state's second-largest city. Its unique geographical location, at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, has served as a vital Midwestern transportation hub since the 19th century. Its strategic location made St. Louis the starting point for the American Westward Expansion. The 193-meter-tall stainless steel Gateway Arch, built to commemorate this pioneering era, is the world's tallest arched structure and the most recognizable symbol of St. Louis.
