Wentzville was named in exchange for a promise to run the railroad through a farmer's land.

The town was founded in 1855 by William M. Allen, a to***co farmer and state senator, according to the author of a local history book. Allen knew the new railroad would run through Missouri, so he used his influence to persuade railroad engineers, especially chief engineer Erasmus Livingston Wentz, to lay tracks across his farmland and build a station, promising to name the town after Wentz.

The city's own history agrees on the rest. Allen laid out the town as a narrow tract seven blocks long, east to west along the railroad. A marker says he donated land and money for the railroad and persuaded area farmers to do the same. Construction went through in 1856, and the first train arrived in 1857.

Wentz, who directed the railroad's construction, helped survey the lots and streets, and townspeople named the town for him. It was incorporated as a fourth-class city in March 1872.

To***co drove the economy. The area was principally devoted to raising to***co from 1850 to 1880, the city says. At one time there were seven to***co plants in the area, and a partner of Liggett and Myers was among those who owned or worked in the factories.

One building survives. The Wentzville To***co Company Factory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, according to Wikipedia. The nomination describes it as one of only four surviving buildings in St. Charles County directly associated with the county's to***co history. The company was incorporated during a decade of expansion for Missouri to***co merchants, the nomination says.

German settlers came early. The city says German craftsmen and farmers began arriving in St. Charles County in the 1830s, which helped Wentzville develop.

Then came cars. General Motors began construction on what was then its largest and most modern assembly plant in 1980, the city says, bringing more than 6,000 jobs at full operation. Other sources date the plant's opening to 1983.

It grew fast. Wentzville was Missouri's fastest-growing city by percentage for two decades, from 2000 to 2020, Wikipedia reports.

A town named for an engineer, in exchange for a rail line, became one of the state's fastest-growing.

Do you know the story of Wentzville's to***co days?
