City of St. Anthony

History- St. Anthony's existence goes back more than 150 years. In the late 1700s, it was part of the
Wisconsin Territory known as St. Croix County. In 1849, Minnesota Territory was formed and included the area
between the St. Croix and the Mississippi Rivers that once belonged to Wisconsin. In 1856, the Township of St. Anthony was organized and had formalized its boundaries in 1861.

After WWII, the demand for affordable housing drastically increased. Al Forsythe, a realtor and developer, found what he felt was a prime piece of property in the area of St. Anthony Boulevard. He petitioned to have it annexed into the City of Minneapolis in order to gain City water and sewer service. However, on October 16, 1945, the residents living in St. Anthony Township petitioned the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners to allow them to incorporate St. Anthony. On November 20, 1945, an election was held in the Township and the final vote was 167 for and 57 against incorporation. The incorporation was challenged by the State on the grounds that the Township was too rural. The lawsuit was eventually appealed to the Minnesota Supreme Court. On March 15, 1946, the Minnesota Supreme Court upheld St. Anthony Township's incorporation petition and it became St. Anthony Village.
