The Chesterfield Valley Post is an independent local news publication serving Chesterfield, Wildwood, Eureka, and the unincorporated communities of west St. Louis County, Missouri. We launched in April 2026 to fill the widening coverage gap left by the contraction of regional and metro newsrooms.
Our focus is on the decisions, institutions, and people that shape daily life in the Chesterfield Valley — city councils, school boards, planning commissions, local businesses, schools and sports, community events, and the conversations neighbors are already having.
What we cover
- Community — nonprofits, churches, festivals, public safety, historic preservation, parks, and the people who make the Chesterfield Valley home.
- Local Government — Chesterfield, Wildwood, and Eureka city councils, Planning & Public Works committees, fire-district and library-district boards, TIF and rezoning decisions, and St. Louis County matters that touch our area.
- Education — Rockwood School District, Parkway School District, Principia, and the independent and parochial schools across the valley.
- Business — development, zoning, restaurant and retail openings, corporate relocations, and the economic-development decisions that shape our commercial landscape.
- Sports — high-school athletics from Eureka, Lafayette, Marquette, Parkway, and Principia, plus select youth and club coverage.
Our approach
We believe local news should be:
- Useful — every story should tell you something you can act on, attend, discuss, or understand more clearly.
- Specific — real names, full titles, exact dates, dollar amounts, and verifiable sources — not vague summaries.
- Fair — we reach out to everyone named in coverage, and we publish corrections prominently when we get something wrong.
- Independent — we are not owned by a chain, a political organization, or a developer with local interests.
