Seniors Stop In Dardenne Prairie

Senior travelers learn that Dardenne Prairie is a city in St. Charles County, Missouri with a population of around 13,000. Dardenne Prairie was originally a prairie region which began in the area near St. Peters, Missouri and extended north of Dardenne Creek, almost to Peruque Creek. The area was so named after the stream.

In early documents the name appeared as Dardonne Creek, Darden Creek, Dardenne River, or Dardonne River. In Houck’s history of 1908, Dardene River is also found.

An explanation for the name is that it was borrowed from the Dardenne family, early pioneers in the Mississippi Valley. “A Touissant Dardenne from Montreal, Canada, married Marie Francoise Lever at St. Anne de Fort Chartres, November 21, 1747. So  now you have the derivation of the city name.
