North County and Neighborhood History
North County’s narrative is one of resilience during change, through which several institutions have withstood the test of time. Specifically, the cities of Normandy (Normandie), Bel-Nor, and Bellerive have institutions with roots that are able to be traced back to the early 19th century. These institutions have grown to become cornerstones of the UMSL community and the wider North County, fostering identity, pride, and stability to the members of these cities for over 100 years.
