Dogtown didn’t get its name from the 1904 World’s Fair. Many people believed that this name was given to this area during that time when the fair was taking place. However, Dogtown got its name from the mining communities that were found throughout the St. Louis. In the 1800s mining communities were popular all over the United States.
Many of these mining communities were established because of the popularity of gold mining during the time. When the miners established these communities, they were makeshift or temporary towns that were used to support the miners. Many of them were torn down once mining activities ceased in an area. A few of them remained and eventually became incorporated into cities.
Most mining communities during that era used the term “dog” to define them. The term dog was associated with mining because the dogs were used to perform various duties in the mining towns, and they became trusted companions to the miners. In those days, people loved the dogs, and they influenced the miner’s lives. This is one reason the name “Dogtown” can be found in various places of the United States.
