WELCOME!
Hello
and welcome to the official website of the St. Louis Park Historical Society. We hope that the information in these pages will be of interest to current and former residents of the Park
and others interested in our City.
The information presented comes from a variety of sources,
including newspapers, books, yearbooks, phone directories, interviews, and materials collected by the founder of the Society, Marie Hartmann.
One of the most important sources of information comes from
the unpublished manuscript
St. Louis Park: A
Story of a Village. It was written in 1952 by
U of M student Norman
Thomas, who had access to a tremendous number of
documents that have since been lost or destroyed. We welcome any additions and corrections. Please contact us with your contributions and comments.
For a
whimsical look at the history of St. Louis Park,
click here to see a
play performed by the Harmony Theatre Company and School on
the occasion of our 125th anniversary.
We hope our History Index will make it easy to find what you are looking for as you browse through the topics. Note that there are separate indices for businesses and people that have links that may not be included in the main index.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Our email address has changed! Please note that the
new address is
