Chesterfield incorporated in 1988 and has grown into the business and shopping center of west St. Louis County. Chesterfield Valley, along the Missouri River bottomland, was badly flooded in 1993 and rebuilt into the retail and office district it is today. Faust Park, home to the Butterfly House, and the Chesterfield Amphitheater round out the city's parks and culture. Residents follow the same statewide medical marijuana process as all Missourians.
