Life in Ferguson
Ferguson occupies about six square miles in north St. Louis County, with a population of roughly 21,000. The city was founded in 1855 as a railroad station named for William B. Ferguson, who donated land for the depot. For most of its history, it was a quiet residential suburb.
In August 2014, the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer and the protests that followed brought worldwide attention to the city and to broader issues of policing, race, and municipal governance in the St. Louis region. The Department of Justice investigation that followed found systemic problems in the city's courts and police department, leading to a consent decree and a series of reforms.
The commercial strip along West Florissant Avenue, where much of the 2014 unrest occurred, has seen rebuilding efforts. Ferguson Brewing Company and new businesses have opened alongside longtime establishments. The city's residential areas, with their early-to-mid-20th-century housing stock, remain largely intact.
