Welcome to Times Beach, Missouri; now the home of Route 66 State Park. Times Beach was once a resort community founded by the St. Louis Times newspaper in the 1920's. The streets of the city were sprayed with waste oil which was contaminated with toxic chemicals in the 1970's. The city's soil and drinking water were contaminated with dioxin due to the waste oil sprayed in the 70's. By the early 1990's the town was evacuated and leveled. The soil was incinerated in 1996 onsite in a huge incinerator. By 1999 the townsite was removed from the EPA's superfund list and in 2002 Route 66 state park was opened.
