History & Character
Historic Main Street & a Landmark Memorial
Wentzville was platted in 1855 and named for Erasmus Livingston Wentz, chief engineer of the Northern Missouri Railroad. The city is the site of the first Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the United States, which began in 1967 as a community “tree of lights” fundraiser and grew into a carved eagle atop a granite pillar by 1984. It remains a regular stop on the national “Run for the Wall” veterans’ motorcycle ride, alongside a walkable historic downtown of century-old brick storefronts.
