Florissant will hold a plaque dedication program to honor the late Mayor James J. Eagan in front of city hall on Monday, Sept. 26, at 5:45 p.m. The program is sponsored by the city’s Walk Through History program.

Eagan served as mayor for the City of Florissant from 1963 until his death in November of 2000.  He was the first mayor elected under the 1963 Charter and had the responsibility of reorganizing and bringing the city government in compliance with the new charter.  He was respected for his commitment to the rule of law and ordinances were strictly enforced during his administration.  A lawyer and judge, he served as mayor for thirty-seven years.

The Walk Through History Program was started about three years ago with the purpose of honoring individuals who have made valuable contributions to the City of Florissant.  This will be the 13th plaque that will be installed since the program has started.
