St. Louis, the second-largest city in Missouri, is located in the east central part of the state on the Mississippi River. The city is independent and is not part of any county. Manufacturing is very important to the city's economy, and its highly developed industries include automobiles, aircraft and space technology, metal fabrication, beer, steelmaking, chemicals, food processing, and storage and distribution. The amount of manufacturing here makes this a great place to open a variety of businesses. Considered the "gateway to the west", the giant stainless steel Gateway Arch, 630 ft high, standing on the banks of the Mississippi, shows this like nothing else ever could. Real estate and homes for sale here are always a valuable commodity.
