St. Anthony Park

Slide 1: This 1874 map of Ramsey county shows St. Anthony Park in the western edge of the county. Like other railroad suburbs, the development was separated from other suburbs. The steam trains could not efficiently start and stop in short distances, so suburbs were spaced out along the track lines. When this map was made, the development was not incorporated. It became a part of St. Paul in the late 1880's, when the area between the city boundary and the western edge of the county was incorporated into the city.
