Subject: [Mpls] Minneapolis:  What's in a name?


For those looking to the East Bank for guidance on anniversary celebrations,
the town formerly known as St. Anthony observed its sesquicentennial in
1999, the 150th anniversary of the platting of the townsite.  I have the
sesquicentennial poster at my desk.

For bonus points:  What county was St. Anthony located in when the townsite
plat was filed, and in which city was the plat filed?

For more info on St. Anthony's hsitory, see 7-3-99 Star Tribune.
