When the French settlers saw this big mound, they called it La Grange de Terre, which means “Earthen Barn”. It was later referred to as The Big Mound since it was the biggest of the twenty-seven Indian mounds that were located in the St. Louis area.
As the population of St. Louis increased, the mound was leveled and the dirt was used to make bricks to build housing. All that is left is the boulder and that was relocated to where it is now to make room for a new Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge .Cake artist - Amanda Blalock
