HistoryDogtown got its name as a small mining community in the mid-1800s.[3] There was a concentration of small clay and coal mines in the area during that time, and the term "Dogtown" was widely used in the 1800s by miners to describe a group of small shelters around mines. Although some erroneously think Dogtown was named during the 1904 World's Fair, it actually got its name long before then. An article published on August 14, 1889 in the Missouri Republican is the earliest known reference to Dogtown in St. Louis. The 1889 newspaper article describes a lost 5-year-old boy who lived in "the classic precincts of Dogtown, near Cheltenham."[4] The term 'dog' appears in official mining terminology (dogholes, doghouse, dogtowns, dogmines, etc.), and it's quite easy to find places all over the U.S. that were called "Dogtown," whose whole existence was due to mining[5] References1. ^http://www.stjamesthegreater.org/neighborhood.asp 2. ^{{cite web|last=Corbett|first=Bob|title=Dogtown Location and Map|url=https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=215783796791541988928.0004b190ddf6f632e31e5|work=Dogtown Boundaries|publisher=Google Maps|accessdate=18 October 2013}} 3. ^Dogtown, Origin of the Name Dogtown. 4. ^ , Missouri Republican Aug 14, 1889. 5. ^ , Dogtown Territorial Quarterly.
