St. Anthony Park

Slide 37: From the very earliest years, there was a neighborhood organization in St. Anthony Park. At first it dealt with the development company and enforced covenants against free-running animals and other local issues. With incorporation, it concentrated its efforts on getting the city to deliver public services. For most of its history it was a men's organization. They were adept at lobbying. This is a photo of City Government Night. During its history, the Association served as a service club, a local Chamber of Commerce, civic improvement association, and political pressure group. Others believed its primary function was to support neighborhood athletic teams and recreation facilities. At various times it fulfilled all those functions.
