Cole v. La Grange, 113 U.S. 1 (1885), was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court, in which the court held that the Missouri legislature could not authorize La Grange or any other city to issue bonds to assist corporations in their private business.
The case was cited in the dissenting opinion of Justice Thomas in Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005).
