Normandy is a city in St. Louis County, Missouri, United States. The population was 4,287 at the 2020 census.[1]

History

The city of Normandy is on land once owned by Charles Lucas. Lucas obtained property from the federal government with land grants, and he purchased the land from victims of the New Madrid earthquake of 1811. He named it for the French coastal region of Normandy from which his father John Baptiste Charles Lucas came. The site of his home is now on the property of Incarnate Word Academy.[2]

Lucas was to fight two duels on Bloody Island with Thomas Hart Benton, and died in the 1817 duel.[2]

Upon Charles' death, and that of his father, Federal Land Grant Judge J.B.C. Lucas, his land was left to his sister Anne and brother James. Anne married Capt. Theodore Hunt, son of the Patriot Abraham Hunt of Trenton, New Jersey, who died in 1832. In 1836, she married Theodore's first cousin, the explorer Wilson Price Hunt. The Hunt home at 7717 Natural Bridge Rd. was completed in 1908 after the current site of Glen Echo Club (the old Hunt Estate) was leased to the Golf Club in 1898 and later sold to the club. It was used for several years as the convent of the Sisters of the Cenacle before being taken over by the Normandy School District.[2]

Normandy incorporated in May 1945.[2]

In 1960, the Normandy School District approved a bond issue to buy the Bellerive Country Club to form a junior college. In 1963, the Normandy Residence Center became the University of Missouri–St. Louis; the university is partially within the City of Normandy.[3][4]

In May 1977, Normandy annexed Berdell Hills.[2]

In August 2023, Normandy and the Village of Glen Echo Park voted to consolidate municipalities. The consolidation took effect on February 8, 2024.[5]
