[[Construction]] began in 1902, with an original target opening in 1903, but was ultimately delayed until 1904. |

It was the largest and most beautiful of the Victorian-era World's Fairs. Ex-mayor of St. Louis, David Rowland Francis, was the main driving force behind securing the Fair's financing, supervising its building, and the gathering of the Exposition's exhibits. He also served as the Exposition's president. |
