About West Alton, MO

Nestled along the Mississippi River in northern St. Charles County, West Alton maintains a tight-knit population of approximately 550 residents (U.S. Census 2023 estimate). This historic riverfront village—originally platted in 1837—offers rural tranquility just 25 minutes from downtown St. Louis via Highway 67. Despite its small size, West Alton experiences steady growth from nearby suburban expansion, creating consistent demand for professional land clearing and lot grading services.
