The city's French name, translated as "broken heart," is of unknown origin.  Today, however, this dynamic community is home of leading corporations and flourishing businesses.  Residents enjoy an exceptional level of city services including welcome baskets, free curbside recycling, leaf vacuuming, and trash pickup.  A strong biomedical research corridor runs through the city to encompass St. John's Mercy Medical Center and Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital as well as other large medical office buildings.  With four major highway systems bordering the city, residents are ensured of quick and convenient access to metropolitan St. Louis.  On every academic level, the educational opportunities for Creve Coeur youth are impressive.  Several parochial and independent private schools are available for alternative learning environments, and the community also boasts nationally recognized public school districts.  The local recreational opportunities are first rate, including an indoor ice skating rink, a municipal golf course, and several wooded parks scattered throughout the residential and commercial developments.  Shoppers enjoy the accessibility of five major retail centers within a 15-minute drive from Creve Coeur.
