Florissant, Residential suburb in St. Louis County, United States
Located in east-central Missouri near the Missouri and Mississippi rivers confluence, Florissant extends across 12.87 square miles of suburban landscape.
French settlers established the community in 1785, initially naming it Fleurissant before Spanish authorities changed it to St. Ferdinand.
The Old St. Ferdinand Shrine, constructed in 1821, stands as a central architectural element representing the early Catholic influence in Missouri.
The city maintains twenty parks covering 400 acres, offering recreational facilities, sports fields, and outdoor spaces for community activities.
The Cold Water Cemetery, dating from 1809, contains graves of early French settlers and represents one of Missouri's oldest burial grounds.
