About Arnold

Arnold, MO, the largest city in Jefferson County, sits just south of St. Louis along the scenic Meramec River. This well-connected suburb offers a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere with all the conveniences of nearby urban life. Founded in the early 1800s, Arnold grew from a small farming community into a dynamic residential hub during the 20th century. Its growth accelerated in the postwar era, but the city has managed to preserve its local charm while expanding its infrastructure and services. Today, it supports a population of over 20,000 and is known for safe neighborhoods, active civic engagement, and a strong focus on outdoor living. One of Arnold’s main attractions is Arnold City Park, a 68-acre green space offering fishing lakes, trails, sports fields, and picnic areas. The nearby Arnold Recreation Center provides year-round access to a gym, pool, and fitness classes. Residents and visitors alike enjoy river activities such as kayaking and fishing along the Meramec, while the annual Arnold Days Festival draws crowds with food, live music, and community celebrations. Arnold is served by the Fox C-6 School District, one of the largest in Jefferson County, which enhances its appeal for young families. Retail and dining options are plentiful along Jeffco Boulevard, where national chains mix with local favorites like Fritz’s Frozen Custard—a local institution. Despite its suburban profile, Arnold maintains a small-town sense of community. Its ongoing development, community events, and abundant green space make it an attractive and balanced place to live in eastern Missouri.
