Description

View of St. Paul, Ramsey County, M.N., 1867 / drawn & published by A. Ruger.

This bird’s-eye view print of St. Paul, Minnesota was drawn by Albert Ruger and published by Chicago Lithographing Co. in 1867. The area along the Mississippi River that became known as St. Paul was purchased from Dakota Indians in the early 1800's and Fort Saint Anthony was built there. The fort was renamed Fort Snelling in 1825. The fort was a safe haven for westward settlers.

In 1858, Minnesota was made the thirty-second state, with St. Paul as its capital. St. Paul grew quickly from that point with increased manufacturing opportunities and railroad facilities.

Construction began on St. Paul’s Opera House in 1866, and the following year the Custom House was under way. Ramsey County was so inundated with court business that they partitioned for the State Legislature in 1867 to add a Court of Common Pleas to ease the court system.

The map includes labeled streets, buildings and railroad route. Riverboat activity is portrayed in the foreground.
