HAZELWOOD, MO

Cahokia Mounds from Interstate Highway 55, Collinsville, IL Built between 1050 and 1350 AD, these mounds are the last remnants of the city of Cahokia, the largest pre-Columbian settlement in North America, and the center of the Mississippian Culture, which was located along the Mississippi River in the vicinity of modern-day St. Louis, Missouri.  The mounds vary in size, with the largest mound, Monks Mound, stands 100 feet tall, with other mounds and archaeological sites covering an area of 2,200 acres (890 hectares), which cover much of the ancient city.  The city was abandoned before European contact, though evidence suggests that its influence stretched throughout the Mississippi River, Ohio River, Tennessee River, and Missouri River basins.  The mounds became the center of a state park in 1923, to prevent encroachment from the expanding suburbs east of St. Louis.  The mounds were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.  In 1982, the Cahokia Mounds were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
