Welcome
Mayor Mike Kuehn reetings from the City of North St. Paul! An extraordinary small town in the Twin Cities! North St. Paul is not your typical "small town." The rich history of North St. Paul dates back to 1887, when the visionary Captain Henry Castle embarked on an extraordinary endeavor and envisioned a thriving and prosperous community outside of the inner cities. Castle settled in St. Paul in 1868 and began purchasing land near Silver Lake to be platted for the future community of North St. Paul. The city was designed to be a manufacturing town. Many of the first factories used wood products from supplies readily available from the booming timber industries located in Stillwater. The town provided many good jobs for European immigrants settling in our nation. Quality schools, numerous churches and a vital but quaint community developed and prospered as the city grew. From a population of 621 in 1888, North

St. Paul has grown to 11,460 today. North St. Paul blends its historic charms and traditions with easy access to amenities associated with larger communities. Residents and visitors alike enjoy a vibrant mix of unique shops and restaurants, an abundance of recreational activities including the Regional Gateway Trail and the newly-built trailhead - Rotary Park. Rotary Park is adjacent to the trail between First and Second Streets near the wind turbine. It offers natural amenities including open green space, a pond and mature oak trees. Recent improvements include the construction of 31 parking spaces, park lighting, a water fountain and a temporary bathroom facility. There are plans for a picnic pavilion, park benches, and permanent bathroom facility in the near future. North St. Paul is proud of the
clean, renewable electricity that is produced locally right here in North St. Paul! The city is one of 11 in Minnesota to have a wind turbine as part of the "Hometown WindPower" program. There are many cultural activities, historic sites and museums in North St. Paul. Our historic downtown plays host to special events throughout the year, from parades and festivals to a weekly classic car show and farmers market. North St. Paul is a great place to live, work, play and raise a family. I am proud of our community and the people who live here. Mayor Mike Kuehn North St. Paul

History
aplewood may be best known as the birthplace of the Post-It Note, but its also where more than 38,000 people reside. Long before it was incorporated in the 1950s as the Village of Maplewood, the area was known as New Canada Township. Its recorded history dates back about 150 years. Originally, the Dakota Indians inhabited the lands that would later become Maplewood. Around 1850, European settlers the Bells, Caseys, Conlins and Vincents ventured from St. Paul and traveled along what is now Hazelwood Street. Though their early homesteading efforts were unsuccessful due to conflicts with the American Indians, the families eventually received news that the Dakota had left the area, which allowed them to stay permanently on the land. While those pioneers were setting

down roots in northern Maplewood, Thomas Carver began farming near what would soon become McLean Township, in what is now called the Carver Lake neighborhood in southern Maplewood. Both of these areas later became part of New Canada Township. The railroad industry is what spurred the townships growth. The Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad became the St. Paul and Duluth
Railroad, which intersected with the Wisconsin Central Railroad. At the junction of these railroad lines was a town site, Gladstone, which was predicted to rival St. Paul. Through the years, the little villages of Gladstone, McLean Township and New Canada Township thrived. In the early 1950s, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing now known as 3M was looking to expand and bought a large tract of

History
Hi s to r y o f No r t h S t . Pa u l
city known for "The World's Largest Snowman" once had aspirations to rival Chicago. In 1887, Capt. Henry Anson Castle founded North St. Paul along the shores of Silver Lake. The city has been welcoming new residents and visitors ever since. What began as a rolling prairie and oak savanna boomed into a prosperous city almost overnight. Six churches, 15 factories, 100 cottages and 1,500 people soon flourished in the early days of North St. Paul, which was developed in hopes of overtaking Chicago as the most illustrious manufacturing giant in the Midwest. Castle sold 40 lots for residential development on his 1,200 acres east and south of Silver Lake. The North St. Paul Land Company formed and purchased the land from Castle. The United States experienced a major depression in the 1890s, however, and North St. Paul did not escape the financial crisis that followed. The suburb's residents and merchants got through it by pulling together and remaining positive. Neighbors held "Hard Times Parties" and "Poverty Socials" to uplift the community. In 1893, a magnificent ice palace made of 12,000 tons of ice rose 25 feet into the air at Silver Lake and helped shift the thoughts of North St. Paulites away from their financial woes.
Veterans' Memorial
A Veterans' Memorial Park has been planned for North St. Paul for over 10 years, but was interrupted due to the Highway 36 renovations. With the construction project finished, the city has green-lighted a committee to begin planning the memorial. North St. Paul American Legion Post 39, VFW Post 1350, and North High Air Force Junior ROTC are partnering with the city to help design and raise funds for the memorial, which would be located in the former Cannon Park northeast of 36 and Margaret St. The memorial is estimated to cost roughly $95,000 and take five months to construct. The committee in charge of the project is in the early stages of developing a marketing and fundraising campaign, and no concrete timeline has been established. and Margaret Street sits one of the city's most prominent landmarks and symbols. "The World's Largest Stucco Snowman" is a reminder of the city's former annual celebration of "Snow Frolics," when a giant snowman was made of real snow. The late Lloyd Koesling, a town barber, designed the 44-foot-tall stucco structure, which was built by the North St. Paul Jaycees between 1972 and 1974. The snowman's 16-foot smile greets residents and passersby traveling on busy Highway 36.
Above, the veterans' park design was brainstormed by a Junior ROTC cadet and refined by planners. Below, this is an aerial view of the park design; planners would like it placed on the former Cannon Park site.

fruition, his other wish for the city will continue to ring true. North St. Paul is a warm, friendly suburb that welcomes residents new and old. As the song, "A Hundred Years in North St. Paul" says: "Yes, times were a little slower then, the trains were sometimes late, "A quarter took you 14 miles in 1888. "Though through the years a lot has changed, and everything has grown "To me it's still the place to be - the place that I call home!"
Driving through North St. Paul today, one can still see reminders of the city as it was when originally founded 125 years ago. Although Captain Castle's dream of North St. Paul mirroring the accomplishments of Chicago didn't come to

North St. Paul is a city that mixes the ambiance of established neighborhoods and mid-century homes with a progressive community that offers more than enough ways to stay active and involved. Due to an anticipated decrease in state Local Government Aid, the North St. Paul City Council has elected to cut back operation of the Community Center. Currently, the city is in talks with North St. PaulMaplewood-Oakdale School District 622 to lease the building during the school week and continue normal fitness operations at nights and on weekends. However, nothing is final. The Community Center will continue to operate as normal until Jan. 1, 2013. The library, housed inside of the community center, has no plans for shutting down. Built in 2005, the North St. Paul Library has a collection of nearly 20,000 materials. Equipped with
Re c re a t i o n in Nor th St Paul
floor-to-ceiling windows, a fireplace and computer terminals with Internet access, the North St. Paul library provides a great reading and research environment. The city's Southwood Nature Preserve gives residents a way to engage with nature while maintaining a strong sense of community. Volunteers enjoy helping keep up the area. The preserve's wellgroomed paths provide a great way to see the colors of each season. Lakes Casey Lake Silver Lake Silver Lake Park 19th Avenue and Lake Avenue Silver Lake Park was built in the area where the city of North St. Paul was first established. Tucked away in a cozy neighborhood, the park provides outdoor fun for the entire family. With a beach watched over by lifeguards, playground equipment for children's entertainment and other outdoor fun, Silver Lake Park makes a great place to relax on a summer day. There are also tennis courts, picnic areas, and a fishing pier. In the wintertime, ice fishing shacks dot the lake as the North St. Paul Lion's Club hosts its annual ice fishing contest.
