French Settlement
Ste. Genevieve, a French Village on the Mississippi near St. Louis, 1797
During the Eighteenth Century, settlement of the North American continent became part of the larger political struggle between major European nations. Great Britain, Spain, and France vied with each other for dominance in Europe and the New World. French settlements such as Ste. Genevieve signaled the spread of French influence in Upper Louisiana. The first settlers traveled down river from French Canada, establishing French culture and political authority in the Mid-Mississippi Valley.
Ste. Genevieve was established around 1750. The town was built on a broad field along the Mississippi River, sixty-five miles downstream from the site on which St. Louis would arise some fourteen years later. After a disastrous flood in 1785, the village moved inland, where it thrived. By 1797, it had become a prosperous French colony with customs and architecture patterned after the Norman French heritage of its founders.
