Cottleville America 250 Includes Story Telling in Log Cabin

As part of the recent America 250 event at Legacy Park, Shirley and Bob Pecoraro shared Revolutionary War stories at the Legacy Park Log Cabin. They portrayed Daniel and Rebecca Boone, recounting their experiences during the American Revolution.

"Daniel Boone, the Two Captains", occurs in 1781 and explains how Daniel Boone was a Militia Captain on both the American and British sides during the American Revolution. While securing government papers at the request of Thomas Jefferson, Daniel was captured by British Colonel Banastre Tarleton. When he produced a 1774 British Militia Captain's commission from Lord Dunmore, he was released. Colonel Tarleton did not know Boone also had an American Militia Captain’s commission from 1777.

“Daniel Boone Courier for Thomas Jefferson”. Jefferson requested Boone to hand-deliver a letter to Militia Colonel George Rogers Clark. Clark was asked to go to Big Bone Lick and obtain mastodon teeth from the bog there and bring them to Jefferson.

"Jemima Comes to the Aid of Her Father Daniel Boone". In April 1777, the Daniel Boone family was living at Fort Boonesborough. One morning, as two men were driving horses back to the fort, they were fired upon by Indians. Daniel quickly put together a rescue party. The rescuers also came under fire. There was a running gun battle during a dash for the fort. Sixty feet outside, Daniel was shot in the ankle and in trouble. As shots flew through the air and with disregard for her own safety, Daniel's 14-year-old daughter Jemima ran to his aid. They made the safety of the fort without further harm.

Cottleville Celebrates America's 250th with Patriotism, History, and Family Fun

The spirit of patriotism was alive and well as the community gathered to celebrate America 250th Celebration, a memorable event honoring our nation's upcoming 250th birthday through history, community pride, and family-friendly activities.

The celebration began with a patriotic march that brought together residents of all ages in a display of American pride. Waving flags and dressed in red, white, and blue, participants marched through the festivities while reflecting on the values and freedoms that have shaped our nation for nearly two and a half centuries.

One of the highlights of the day was the ceremonial America birthday cake cutting, where attendees joined together to celebrate this historic milestone. Families gathered to enjoy cake, fellowship, and the shared excitement of commemorating our country's enduring legacy.

The event also recognized the dedicated service of our local first responders. Community members had the opportunity to meet and thank the men and women who work tirelessly to protect and serve Cottleville each day. Their presence served as a reminder of the ongoing spirit of service that has helped strengthen America since its founding.

History came to life through engaging Revolutionary War stories that transported visitors back to the nation's earliest days. Through captivating presentations and historical interpretations, guests learned about the courage, sacrifice, and determination of the patriots who fought for American independence.

Adding to the authentic colonial atmosphere, the stirring sounds of a fife and drum corps echoed throughout the celebration. Their traditional music provided a glimpse into the sights and sounds that inspired soldiers and citizens during the Revolutionary War era.

The celebration also featured plenty of entertainment for children and families. Young attendees enjoyed a bounce house, while streams of floating bubbles filled the air with laughter and excitement. A towering Uncle Sam on walking stilts delighted guests as he mingled throughout the crowd, posing for photos and spreading patriotic cheer.

Rounding out the day was an exciting magic show that captivated audiences of all ages. With surprises, laughter, and interactive performances, the show provided a perfect ending to a day filled with community spirit and celebration.

America's 250th Celebration successfully blended history, patriotism, and family fun, creating lasting memories while honoring the people, principles, and stories that have shaped our nation. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, the event served as a reminder that our shared history continues to inspire future generations and strengthen the bonds within our community

Cottleville Receives TAP Grant



The City of Cottleville has been awarded a federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant to support pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements along Highway N, with funding administered through the East-West Gateway Council of Governments and the Missouri Department of Transportation. The grant, funded by the Federal Highway Administration, will advance a key corridor improvement project that enhances safety, connectivity, and accessibility for residents and visitors alike. 

The project includes the construction of a shared-use path, sidewalk improvements, and traffic-calming features along Highway N, extending from Knaust Road/Cottleville Parkway to Gutermuth Road. These improvements aim to provide safer accommodations for pedestrians and cyclists, improve mobility along a heavily traveled corridor, and support the City’s broader goals related to transportation safety and multi-modal connectivity. Under the grant agreement, federal funds will cover up to 80 percent of eligible project costs, with the City responsible for the remaining local share and long-term maintenance of the improvements.

The project will move through design, environmental review, public engagement, and right of way phases before construction, consistent with federal and state requirements. The City appreciates the partnership with East-West Gateway, MoDOT, and federal agencies in securing this important funding investment for the community.

Sheriff Scott A. Lewis provides a Look at the Lives of Cottle and Pitman During the Revolutionary War Monument Dedication in Front of City Hall on June 16th!

Today we gather to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country’s founding and honor the lives and legacies of Revolutionary War Veterans Warren Cottle and John Pitman.

Although not as well-known as Daniel Boone, James Bowie or Davy Crocket, today with the assistance of the St. Charles County Daughters of the American Revolution, the City of Cottleville and others, we hope to add a couple of pages to the history books about these American patriots and frontiersmen whose lives would become deeply connected to the birth of the nation, the settlement of the American frontier, and the founding of the community that would later become

Cottleville.

**Warren Cottle was born in 1755 in Tisbury, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. In 1776, Warren Cottle moved to land south of Woodstock in a territory disputed between the colonies of New York and New Hampshire. When Vermont declared its

independence in 1777, he answered the call to serve his new community by entering military service as a private in Captain Joshua Hazen’s Company of Militia under the command of Colonel Peter Olcott.

By 1780, Cottle had risen to the rank of captain, leading his own company of Vermont militia. Captain Warren Cottle’s Company was called into service during several alarms and periods of unrest during the Revolutionary War. That same year, his leadership extended into public service when he was elected as a representative from Woodstock to the Vermont General Assembly, serving in 1780, 1781, and again in 1789.

Seeking new opportunities and a warmer climate in the West, Warren Cottle and his youngest son Ira, named after Ira Allen, who was the youngest brother of Ethan Allen and one of the Green Mountain Boys. Warren and Ira followed an Indian trail out of the Village of San Carlos and chose a site overlooking the Dardenne River as their new home. Cottle received a Spanish land grant in 1798. In 1799, he returned with a party of approximately 100 settlers to establish a new community. THE LEAD BELT NEWS, wrote on June 2, 1965, “The fact that this fairly extensive number of people were willing to risk the many hazards of a journey into an unknown, unsettled, and foreign country under the supervision of this one man attests to the qualities of leadership and responsibility which were apparent in the character of Captain Warren Cottle.”

In 1802, Cottle was again pressed into military service and led a company of 20 men to respond to Indian attacks in the territory. Captain Warren Cottle died in 1811 in Cottleville, leaving behind a legacy of military service, civic leadership, and pioneering spirit.

**John Pitman (1753–1839) was an early Kentucky pioneer and Revolutionary War patriot, and one of the influential early settlers who helped shape the future of Missouri.

Born in 1753 in Bedford County, Virginia, John Pitman journeyed to Kentucky between 1776 and 1778 during the frontier expansion period. He was a member of McKee Masonic Lodge #144 and fought alongside Daniel Boone during the Battle of Blue Licks. His name appears on the monument honoring those who escaped the battle as “one of the privates who escaped.”

In October 1782, Pitman served in the Lincoln County, Kentucky Militia under Captain John Dougherty during an expedition led by General George Rogers Clark to repel hostile Native American forces, in the Illinois Expedition.

In 1810, John Pitman arrived in Cottleville, Missouri, becoming one of the area’s earliest settlers. Following the establishment of the Missouri Territorial Legislature by Congress in 1811, Pitman and Robert Spencer were elected to the House of Representatives representing St. Charles County.

His service to the new territory and state continued as he served as a delegate to Missouri’s first constitutional convention in 1820, Gov. Alexander McNair commissioned him Colonel of the 15th Regiment of Missouri State Militia in 1821, became one of the state’s first tobacco inspectors in 1821, and served as foreman of the Grand Jury in 1823. In addition to his public service, Pitman operated a horse-powered mill, contributing to the growth and development of the local community. John Pitman died in 1839 and is buried in the Pitman Cemetery in Cottleville.

Warren Cottle and John Pitman’s stories remind us of the courage and determination of the individuals who helped build both our nation and our local community.

City of Cottleville Clarifies Regulations for “Mini Bikes” and Similar Motorized Devices

The City of Cottleville updated safety regulations regarding the operation of "mini-bikes," pocket bikes, and other motorized play vehicles. While these devices are popular, many exceed the 49cc limit set by state law for unregistered road use. We have seen an increase in safety concerns, particularly involving unlicensed minors operating these vehicles on sidewalks, multipurpose trails, and roadways, which creates hazards for pedestrians and motorists.



To address these issues the Board of Aldermen adopted new definitions within the Municipal Traffic Code which establishes the following:

- Operation Restrictions: Mini-bikes, motorized scooters, and similar devices are prohibited on City streets, sidewalks, and within City parks, except during permitted events.

- Parental Responsibility: The ordinance establishes penalties for adults who knowingly allow minors to operate these vehicles unlawfully.

These updates are intended to enhance public safety and ensure our parks and trails remain safe for everyone. For more information please visit:  Cottleville Mini-Bike Ordinance Update

Please contact the Cottleville Police if you have any further questions. 

Reminder: The City of Cottleville Streamlined and Updated Noise Regulations Last October

The City of Cottleville Board of Aldermen approved updates to the City’s Noise and Nuisance Ordinance on October 15, 2025, to better balance the needs of residents and businesses within the community’s growing entertainment district. The revised ordinance modernizes terminology, clarifies enforcement procedures, and establishes objective decibel standards measured at the property line—creating a more transparent and consistent process for evaluating potential noise violations.

While the Cottleville Police Department has received only a few noise-related complaints this year, the Board determined it was important to streamline the process for future enforcement and to provide clearer expectations for all property owners. Many local businesses have already taken proactive steps to minimize noise impacts and maintain a positive environment for nearby residents.

Residents are reminded that timely reporting is essential for effective response. To report noise or other ordinance concerns—such as golf cart violations, dogs at large, or fireworks misconduct—please contact the 24-hour non-emergency dispatch line at (636) 939-9966 at the time of occurrence or as soon as safely possible. For emergencies, always call 911.

Delays in reporting or posting concerns on social media do not result in timely police response or resolution. Dispatchers need real-time information to properly log and route calls for service.



The City appreciates the continued support and cooperation of residents and businesses as we work together to maintain a safe, enjoyable, and vibrant community for all.

*Taxes collected and dispersed are often based upon a City zip code.

Did you know? The City is Required to Have a Development Review Process

The City is required to have a City Development Review Process for

 residents, land owners and developers. Once the City receives a

development proposal/application, the law requires that the City place

 that proposal on a meeting agenda (for consideration by the Planning & Zoning Commission and/or the Board of Aldermen). However, merely being placed on an agenda does not guarantee that the proposal will be approved. Instead, the City reviews the proposal to determine whether it complies with the City Code.

Throughout a development or application review process it is critical

that voting members of the public entity remain impartial and reserve

their final decision until it is time to vote. The primary reason for

this is to ensure each applicant is granted their due process for

consideration by the governing body. It is equally important for any

person from the community who has questions, concerns, or general

opinions about a given proposal that they communicate directly with

the City through the designated communication channels such as phone, email, written correspondence, or in-person statements at a public meeting. Taking to social media to share one's thoughts and opinions may be therapeutic and even garner like minded sentiment, but there is no guarantee that any decision makers from the governing body will become aware of such online statements.

As with any important topic, it is always best to research multiple

sources for information and in the case of city government operations

and activities that would include directing one's questions and

concerns to the City government. Your elected officials can assist

with this process if you ask them to and City staff are another

resource for information and facts on topics and proposals dealing

with local government.

Do you have a Cottleville Resident ID Card?

The card(s) are obtained at St. Peters City Hall, the Rec-Plex, or the St. Peters Recycle City. The documents needed are: a photo ID and a piece of mail with a current date and address.
