Founded in 1820 on the banks of the Mississippi River, the city of East St. Louis, Illinois has a rich history and many beautiful, historic abandoned buildings to explore. Originally home to Native American settlements, East St. Louis prospered as an industrial hub until experiencing decline in the 1950s. The city's population peaked at 82,000 residents in 1950 before plummeting to just 18,000 today following industrial collapse and race riots. Despite this decline, East St. Louis still features stunning abandoned landmarks like the magnificent Majestic Theater and the Spivy Building, the city's sole high rise.
