Downtown St. Louis, Incorporated was founded in 1958 by a group of St. Louis' businessmen who were interested in the revitalization of downtown St. Louis. In the late fifties and early sixties many large suburban shopping centers were constructed in all areas of St. Louis County which took away much of the commercial shopping and entertainment business from downtown St. Louis.
Since its founding the organization has implemented the construction and renovation projects such as the completion of the Gateway Arch, Gateway Mall, the Old Post Office, and the Convention Plaza.  Downtown St. Louis, Incorporated became the Downtown St. Louis Partnership.
