"St. Jewish Park"

It is widely and erroneously thought that most inhabitants of St. Louis Park are Jewish. In fact, there may be about equal numbers of Jews, Protestants, and Catholics. It has been comically called St. Jewish Park. The city's official web site contains a page listing 19 Christian churches and 5 Jewish synagogues. (Of course, the census does not ask people their religious affiliation, so perhaps no hard data are available.) The word Jew (Hebrew: יהודי transliterated: Yehudi) is used in many ways, but generally refers to a follower of Judaism, a child of a Jewish mother, or someone of Jewish descent with a connection to Jewish culture or ethnicity; and often a combination of these attributes. ... Protestantism is a general grouping of denominations within Christianity. ...

History

Early developments

The 1850s village that became St. Louis Park was originally known as Elmwood, which today is a neighborhood inside the city. In August, 1886, 31 people signed a petition asking county commissioners to incorporate the Village of St. Louis Park. The petition was officially registered on November 19, 1886. // Events and Trends Technology Production of steel revolutionised by invention of the Bessemer process Benjamin Silliman fractionates petroleum by distillation for the first time First transatlantic telegraph cable laid First safety elevator installed by Elisha Otis Science Charles Darwin publishes The Origin of Species, putting forward the theory of evolution...

The name "St. Louis Park" was derived from a railroad line from St. Louis to Minneapolis that ran through the area, the old 1800's depot still stands and is the centerpiece of Jorvig Park.

The Depot, Jorvig Park

In 1890, lumber baron Thomas Barlow Walker and a group of wealthy Minneapolis industrialists incorporated the Minneapolis Land and Investment Company to focus industrial development in Minneapolis. Walker’s company also began developing St. Louis Park for industrial, commercial and residential use. 1890 was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...

Generally, development progressed outward from the original village center at the intersection of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad (now CP Rail) with Wooddale Avenue. However, this concentric pattern wasn’t strong and was overtaken by Minneapolis expansion. By 1883, the western boundary of Minneapolis was at France Avenue. The Minneapolis city boundary may have continued to expand westward had it not been for St. Louis Park’s 1886 incorporation. The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR; AAR reporting marks CP, CPAA, CPI), known as CP Rail between 1968 and 1996, is a Canadian Class I railway that is operated by Canadian Pacific Railway Limited. ... 1883 was a common year starting on Monday (see link for calendar). ...

By 1893, the downtown area of St. Louis Park had three hotels and many newly arrived companies surrounded the downtown. Around 1890, the village had more than 600 industrial jobs, the majority associated with agriculture implement manufacturing. 1893 was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ...

World's first concrete grain elevator

The financial panic of 1893 altered the developers’ plans and put a damper on the village’s growth. Walker left St. Louis Park to pursue other business ventures.

In 1899, St. Louis Park became the home to the world's first concrete, tubular grain elevator and provided an alternative to combustible wooden elevators. Despite the nickname of "Peavey's Folly" and dire predictions that the elevator would burst like a balloon when the grain was drawn off, the experiment worked and concrete elevators have been used ever since. 1899 was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ... This article is about grain elevators. ...

Suburban boom

At the end of World War I, only seven scattered retail stores operated in St. Louis Park because streetcars provided easy access to shopping in Minneapolis. In the 10 years from 1920 to 1930, the population doubled from 2,281 to 4,710. Vigorous home-building occurred in the late 1930’s to accommodate the pent up need created during the depression. With America’s involvement in World War II, however, all development came to a halt. World War I was primarily a European conflict with many facets: immense human sacrifice, stalemate trench warfare, and the use of new, devastating weapons - tanks, aircraft, machine guns, and poison gas. ...

Explosive growth came after World War II. In 1940, 7,737 people lived in St. Louis Park. By 1955, more than 30,000 residents had joined them. From 1940 to 1955, growth averaged the equivalent of 6.9 persons moving into St. Louis Park every day.

Residential development was closely followed by commercial developers anxious to bring goods and services to these new households. In the late 1940s, Minnesota’s first shopping center — the 30,000 sq. ft. Lilac Way — was constructed on the northeast corner of Excelsior Boulevard and Highway 100. (Lilac Way was torn down in the late 1980s to make way for redevelopment.)

During the period between 1950 and 1956, 66 new subdivisions were recorded to make room for 2,700 new homes. In 1953 and 1954, the final two parcels — Kilmer and Shelard Park — were annexed. These parcels (originally in Minnetonka) came to St. Louis Park because of its ability to provide sewer and water service. Minnetonka is a city located in Hennepin County, Minnesota. ...

From village to city

In 1954, voters approved a home rule charter that gave an overwhelmed St. Louis Park the status of a city. That action enabled the city to hire a city manager to assume some of the duties handled by the part-time city council. 1954 (MCMLIV) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ... The council-manager government is one of 2 main variations of representative municipal government (for contrast, also see Mayor-Council government). ...

In those days, the primary concerns were the physical planning of St. Louis Park, updating zoning and construction codes, expanding sewer and water systems, paving streets, acquiring park land and building schools.
