St. Louis was once known as Mound City for its many Native American mounds. Just one remains

Native American Mound St. Louis - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

What is now St. Louis was once home to more than 100 mounds constructed by Native Americans — so many that St. Louis was once known as “Mound City.” Settlers tore most of them down, and just one remains.

Now, that last remaining earthen structure, Sugarloaf Mound, is closer to being back in the hands of the Osage Nation.
