What is the history of St. Joseph?

St. Joseph was founded by fur trader Joseph Robidoux. Located on the banks of the Missouri River, the city was incorporated in 1843. It was a frontier town and busy outpost during its early days, serving as a supply post and last point of contact for travelers who planned to use the river to head off to the "Wild West." St. Joseph was also the westernmost point with railway accessibility until the American Civil War was over. The population peaked around 1900 at over 100,000 people, and hovers around 72,000 today.

How is the weather in St. Joseph?

St. Joseph, MO is classified as a humid subtropical climate, but it's very close to the edge of a humid continental climate. What does that mean for the weather in the area?

You can expect to get between 12 and 20 inches of snow, on average. Spring and fall are stable, relatively quiet seasons, with some rainy days and moderate temperatures.

How do I get around town?

However, if you're right in the downtown part of the city, living in one of the great St. Joseph apartments, you can use the bus service to get around to most places. The nearest commercial airport is 35 miles south at Kansas City International Airport, and Jefferson Lines provides intercity bus service between St. Joseph and Kansas City, for added convenience.

What is the St. Joseph commute like?

Because St. Joseph isn't a huge metropolis, you generally don't have a lot of traffic issues to deal with. There can be congestion sometimes, especially during the summer months and holiday periods, but most of the time the area is easy to navigate. With I-29 and I-229, you can use the interstate highways to get to and from areas of the city.
