Olivette

Most people don’t know this, but our municipality of Olivette was once called Central due to its centralized location along the Central Plank Road (today, Olive Boulevard).  In fact, Price Road and Olive Boulevard intersect at the exact midpoint between the Port of St. Louis on the Mississippi River and Howell’s Landing on the Missouri River.  Central became the best stop for wagons to restock on their journey between the two stops.  Olivette is also home to the first brick schoolhouse in St. Louis County, at the corner of Price and Old Bonhomme.  For the past 150 years, a schoolhouse has occupied this corner where, today, you will find Logos High School.  Call or visit our local Olivette Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers for all of your tire and automotive maintenance and repair service needs, including brakes, alignments, oil changes, and more.
