LEGISLATORS REPRESENTING ST. LOUIS PARK

Many thanks to Keith Meland for providing much of the following information. It is not complete, however; please contact us with additions or corrections.

Note: The Minnesota Senate districts were reapportioned in 1913, and 1915 was the election for the new districts. The state was not reapportioned until 1966 following the Baker v. Carr decision in 1965. In 1966 the house districts within a senate district were designated as district A and B. Prior to 1966 the house members ran at-large within the Senate district; that is the reason that some dates seem to overlap. Included is the city that the member resided in. The years shown are when the term began.
