The area has long been influenced by its proximity to important local transportation routes, dating back to Native American trails established by the Osage Nation. Many of those trails served as the routes for the first roads in the area, such as Natural Bridge and the historic St. Charles Rock Road, which date back to the days of Spanish, French, and early American settlement. The influence continues today, with the recreational American Discovery Trail passing through the area, and the intersection of I-70 and I-270 adding to air and rail access to make the area a good base for transportation-dependent industries.

Bridgeton was first platted in 1794, and named Marais des Liards (Cottonwood Swamp). It was also known as Village à Robert, named after Robert Owen, its founder, who had received a land grant from the Spanish government. In a Spanish census two years later it had a population (including slaves) of 77 males and 47 females. As the area received more and more English-speaking settlers, the village's name became Owen's Station. A contemporary plat map showing the location of a property for sale. ...

Modern history By 1950, Bridgeton's population was 276, lower than it had been in the late 1790s and early 1800s. The city expanded in size during the decade, growing through annexation, to sixteen square miles. This led into its period of greatest residential growth in the 20th century, the 1960s, during which nearly 8000 single-family homes were built. Denser development was strong during that decade as well, at nearly 2000 units. Unlike with single-family development, the multi-family development continued at about the same average pace during the 1970s and 1980s. 1950 (MCML) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Levee-protected floodplains of the river together with good access to interstate highways, rail, and the airport have translated into continued growth for Bridgeton and nearby communities, and a diversification of the city's tax base.

The airport has been a mixed blessing. Starting in 1995, an expansion plan for the airport, centered around a new runway plan called W-1W, has been fought by the city in what appears to have been a lost battle. The new runway has led to the elimination of 2000 homes in the city, undoubtedly playing a significant role in the city's recent population decline.
Demographics The census of 2000 shows that the city's population continues to decline. In 1980 there were 18,445 people in the city, which declined to 17,779 in 1990 and 15,550 in 2000.
