Well-known for its small-town ambiance, Kirkwood was originally named after James P. Kirkwood, who served as chief engineer of the Pacific Railroad.  Today, the "Green Tree City" showcases a continuously refurbished and still operating train station built in 1893.  The city's collection of antique shops, unique stores, cafes, bakeries, and restaurants are favorite meeting places of friendly residents.  Children of all ages enjoy the community's indoor pool, sports fields, and aquatic center.  Although characterized as a distinctly well-established suburban community, Kirkwood retains close proximity to all major highways and interstates and is situated a reasonable 14 miles west of St. Louis for easy commutes into the city.  Housing options are abundant and attractive, offering everything from cozy two-story homes in established neighborhoods to exquisite Victorian mansions that have been meticulously restored.  Architectural styles are available to appeal to every taste and budget, including grand Tudors, ranches, split-levels, fine condominiums, and other multi-family developments.  Residents of this tree-canopied community enjoy convenient local shopping and excellent educational opportunities as well as easy access to popular attractions such as the Powder Valley Nature Center, the Magic House children's museum, Stages live theatre, Kirkwood Farmers' Market, and the annual Greentree Festival.
