St.Louis Park Relocation Information

History- St. Louis Park's name was selected instead of "Elmwood" because of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad. The word "Park" was added on the chance that the village (consisting of 45 families) would be confused with St. Louis, Missouri. The founders linked the name to the railroad because they believed that the railroad would help transform the village into a trading center and become an industry. In 1886 and 1887, five businessmen from Minneapolis created the St. Louis Park Land and Improvement Company and platted three subdivisions. City of St. Louis Park
