[edit] Vandalism?

Someone had edited the "History" paragraph to contain "John O'Phallus" instead of "John O'Fallon," the city's founder. This person had also changed the name of the city's baseball team to the "River City Rapers," when the actual name is the "River City Rascals." The person also says that John O'Fallon was a "noted misanthropist." Was this originally "philanthropist" before being vandalized? Does anyone know anything about John O'Fallon?

I reverted the changes, there was one update regarding a pie plate factory that may not have been vandalism, but the user that contributed it doesn't have a talk page. --harpchad 17:38, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

O'Fallon was the only St. Louis-area city to rank on Money.com's 2006 survey of the best places to live.

Money.com ranked cities with populations between 50,000 and 300,000 people. Retirement havens where more than 40 percent of the residents are over 50 were also excluded.
