==History== The community, most of which encompasses what was the original {{convert|650|acre|adj=on}} 1700s farm of Stephen Maddox, is residential, with no commercial or industrial uses. Police services are provided by the city of [[Frontenac, Missouri|Frontenac]]. Huntleigh was incorporated in 1929 and occupied {{convert|450|acre}}. It annexed land in 1937 and 1947 (when it acquired Huntleigh Woods) to reach its current size of {{convert|750|acre}}. In 1927, [[August Anheuser Busch, Sr.]] co-founded (with early town resident Edward E. Bakewell, Sr.) the Bridlespur Hunt, a [[fox hunting]] club that was based in the community. The hunts now take place in [[St. Charles County, Missouri|St. Charles County]], although some residents still have their stables in the community.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.huntleigh.org/history/|title=History of the City of Huntleigh, Missouri|website=Huntleigh.org|access-date=November 23, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.bridlespur.com/history.htm |title=Bridlespur Hunt - History |access-date=2010-12-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100914102503/http://www.bridlespur.com/history.htm |archive-date=2010-09-14 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Its residents are among the wealthiest people in St. Louis, particularly members of the Busch and Moran families, including [[August Busch IV]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/woman-found-dead-in-home-of-august-busch-iv/article_3920399e-0ec0-11e0-b6d8-0017a4a78c22.html|title=Woman found dead in home of August Busch IV|author1=Nick Pistor|author2=Jesse Bogan|author3=Shane Anthony|website=STLtoday.com|access-date=November 23, 2021}}</ref>
