Koch, Missouri, Former community in St. Louis County, Missouri.
Located near Interstate 255 and Route 231, Koch featured a post office, hospital facilities, and residential areas within its 503-acre grounds.
The Robert Koch Hospital, built in 1875, served as a quarantine facility for patients with tuberculosis, smallpox, and yellow fever until its demolition in 1989.
The hospital complex included nineteen buildings, a 105-acre farm, railroad stop, and recreational facilities that created a self-contained medical community.
The site currently maintains an antenna installation for St. Louis City Emergency Management and connects to major highways I-270 and I-370.
A cemetery known as 'Quarantine' remains on the former hospital grounds, and the hospital site earned National Register of Historic Places status in 1984.
