History

The historical anecdotes contained in this section were derived from the 2011 book Ladue Found, written by Charlene Bry, former editor and owner of The Ladue News.[13][14][15]

Ladue began as a farming community and St. Louis County suburb. After St. Louis City ejected St. Louis County in 1876, Ladue was known as ranges 4 and 5 of "Township 45", with Clayton being the political hub. Original Township 45 farming families included the Dennys, Dwyers, Conways, McCutcheons, McKnights (all Irish), Litzsinger, von Schraders, Spoedes, Luedloffs, Muellers, Seiberts (all German), LaDues (French), Warsons, Lays, Barnes, Prices, and Watsons (all English), according to a 1868 Pitzman map of St. Louis,[16] as well as 1878 and 1909 maps of St. Louis County.

Once automobiles replaced horses and wagons as the primary mode of transportation, farmers in the area began selling portions of their land to city workers who wished to live outside of the urban setting. Three small villages (Village of LaDue, Village of Deer Creek, and the Village of McKnight) merged in 1936 to become what is now known as Ladue.[17] Ladue was named from Ladue Road, the main thoroughfare in the area that led from St. Louis city to wealthy entrepreneur Peter Albert LaDue's large property at the current intersection of Warson Road and Ladue Road (including St. Louis Country Club). Peter Albert LaDue was born in Kinderhook, New York, in 1821, a descendant of Pierre LaDoux, who arrived from France in the 1600s. He arrived in Saint Louis about 1848 and later became a prominent attorney, alderman, banker, and land speculator.

Controversies

In 1986, the City of Ladue sued residents E. Terrence Jones and Joan Kelly Horn for living together without being married.[18] Ladue officials had ordered them to marry or leave their home. The Missouri Court of Appeals sided with the city, stating in City of Ladue v. Horn, "A man and woman living together, sharing pleasures and certain responsibilities, does not per se constitute a family in even the conceptual sense....There is no doubt that there is a governmental interest in marriage and in preserving the integrity of the biological or legal family. There is no concomitant governmental interest in keeping together a group of unrelated persons, no matter how closely they simulate a family. Further, there is no state policy which commands that groups of people may live under the same roof in any section of a municipality they choose."[19] But lawmakers had the last word. Under Chapter 213 of the Missouri Human Rights Act (§213.040.1),[20] passed after the Ladue v. Horn case, housing discrimination on the basis of familial status is illegal.

In the early 1990s, the city tried to force a resident to take down a yard sign that said, "Say No to the War in the Persian Gulf, Call Congress Now" as it violated a city law. The ACLU sued, arguing that the right to place the sign was protected by the right to free speech enshrined in the First Amendment. The ensuing legal battle went to the United States Supreme Court, which unanimously ruled, in City of Ladue v. Gilleo, that the right to place the sign was protected by the Constitution.[21]

In 2010, the former chief of police, Larry White, sued the City of Ladue for wrongful termination.[22] The suit was dismissed by the Circuit Court of St. Louis County in 2012, and the dismissal was upheld by the Missouri Court of Appeals in 2013.[23]

In 2014, Black drivers in Ladue were 16 times more likely than white drivers to be pulled over by the Ladue Police Department. An annual report by the Missouri attorney general’s office found that of the 4,107 traffic stops that year, 575 (14% percent), were of Black drivers, who comprised just 0.88% of the city’s population.[24]

It has totally foreclosed that medium to political, religious, or personal messages. Signs that react to a local happening or express a view on a controversial issue both reflect and animate a change in the life of a community. Often placed on lawns or in windows, residential signs play an important part in political campaigns, during which they are displayed to signal the resident's support for particular candidates, parties, or causes. They may not afford the same opportunities for conveying complex ideas as do other media, but residential signs have long been an important and distinct medium of expression. [...] Although prohibitions foreclosing entire media may be completely free of content or viewpoint discrimination, the danger they pose to the freedom of speech is readily apparent-by eliminating a common means of speaking, such measures can suppress too much speech.").Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
