The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, along with the rest of the Federal Reserve System, recently turned 100. To mark its centennial, the St. Louis Fed published "100 Years of Service." You'll read about the financial instability in the country that led to the birth of the Federal Reserve, our nation's third attempt at a central bank. You'll also find out why, a half-century later, the St. Louis Fed came to be known as the maverick in the Fed system. But the book also looks at the Bank today and what lies ahead. See how we serve not only financial institutions and the Treasury, but also educators, those who work in community development, the wide variety of people who look to us for economic research and data, and the public at large.
