Pastureland in University City in 1907, one year after the city's incorporation, shows how rural that area near St. Louis remained even 31 years after the fateful vote. In the background, toward the east, is Washington University. Promoters of the city-county split put the city boundary near Skinker Boulevard on the theory that it gave the city plenty of land to grow. (University City Library Archives)
