About St Charles

A Focus on Community

City of St. Charles Mission: Heritage. Community. Service. Opportunity.

Community. It’s another cornerstone of our Mission. When done right, Community can be a powerful thing. It can bring people and organizations together for a common cause to accomplish something that makes a positive impact for everyone. But what makes a great community?

Recipe for a Great Community

1. Take a dynamic group of residents, business leaders, local organizations and dedicated City employees.

2. Mix together with award-winning educational, recreational opportunities and efficient services that matter.
