St. Anthony & Minneapolis City Directory,
1859-1860
The first dual city directory of St. Anthony and Minneapolis was
published in 1860. At that time, the population of the two communities
totaled approximately 12,000 people, with 6,700 of them in St. Anthony
and 5,300 in Minneapolis.
The directory listed the residents in two separate lists, one for
each community. Residents names
are grouped alphabetically by the first letter of the last name
but are not strictly in alphabetical order within the groups. The
directory has been transcribed as it appeared and reflects the rules
of style used by printers at that time. We leave it up to you to
decide whether someone named Hans Von Shpikensphokenblanggenfungger,
whose address appears as "Main Street near the sidewalk,"
ever existed.
