About Imperial

Imperial, MO, is a growing unincorporated community located in Jefferson County, just south of the city of Arnold and roughly 25 miles from downtown St. Louis. This suburban enclave is well-known for its blend of rural charm, scenic riverfront terrain, and access to major highways, including Interstate 55. Residents are drawn to Imperial for its spacious properties, affordable housing, and a quieter pace of life that’s still within commuting distance of the city. Imperial borders the Mississippi River, offering picturesque views and opportunities for boating and fishing, particularly around Flamm City Park and the historic Sulphur Springs Landing. The community’s location near Mastodon State Historic Site—a park and museum preserving Ice Age fossils and ancient archaeological artifacts—adds to its appeal for history lovers and families. While not a formal municipality, Imperial benefits from the services and infrastructure provided by Jefferson County and neighboring Arnold, including schools, fire protection, and law enforcement. The Windsor C-1 School District serves much of the area and is regarded for its commitment to education and student success. In recent years, Imperial has experienced moderate growth, with new residential subdivisions, local businesses, and retail spaces gradually enriching its suburban fabric. Offering a scenic, peaceful environment with proximity to St. Louis, Imperial stands out as a desirable location for those seeking balance between urban convenience and semi-rural living.
