That's correct! The original name of Saint Louis was indeed "Laclede's Village" or "Laclede's Landing." It was named after Pierre Laclede Liguest, the French fur trader who founded the settlement in 1764. However, in 1809, the settlement was officially incorporated as the City of St. Louis in honor of King Louis IX of France, known for his justice and piety. Thank you for providing the correct answer!
