Geography
Edmundson is a very small city. It covers an area of about 0.71 square kilometers (0.27 square miles). All of this area is land, meaning there are no large lakes or rivers within the city limits.
History of Edmundson
Edmundson started as a neighborhood called "Edmundson Terrace" in 1941. This was just a few days before the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was one of the first planned neighborhoods in St. Louis County.
On May 12, 1948, Edmundson Terrace officially became a "village" under Missouri law. This meant it had its own local government. By 1965, the village had grown a lot. Its size had tripled or even quadrupled. The population grew to about 2,500 people. It included many single-family homes and apartment buildings.
In 1992, the people of Edmundson voted to change their status. On January 4, 1993, Edmundson officially became a "fourth class city." This change gave the city more power and control over its local affairs.
