St. Anthony, also known asSaint Anthony Village, is a city inHennepin andRamsey counties in theU.S. state ofMinnesota. The population was 9,257 at the2020 census,[4] of whom 5,621 lived in the larger Hennepin County part of the city and 3,654 in the Ramsey County part. The city is run by a five-member council consisting of a mayor and four council members who serve four-year terms.
St. Anthony's origins date to 1838, whenFranklin Steele, a storekeeper atFort Snelling, made a claim on the land east ofSt. Anthony Falls. Steele did not begin developing the land until 1848, but it quickly became a center of milling and trade much like the neighboring town of Minneapolis on the land west of the falls. In 1858 the town was formally organized as the Township of St. Anthony.[6]
In 1872, Minneapolis annexed most of St. Anthony (much of present-dayNortheast and Southeast Minneapolis). Roughly 1,000 acres (400 ha) of mostly agricultural land north of the city retained the name St. Anthony but remained unincorporated. In 1945, the township's residents voted 167–57 in favor of incorporating as a village. The state challenged this decision on the basis that St. Anthony was too agricultural and rural, but it was upheld by theMinnesota Supreme Court. As the city's suburbs grew outward, St. Anthony evolved from a rural township to aninner suburb.[7]
St. Anthony was the home of Apache Plaza, the tenth indoor shopping mall in United States, which opened in October 1961 and was demolished in 2004. It has been replaced by a new shopping area,Silver Lake Village. The oldest,Southdale, lay only 15 miles (24 km) to the southwest and was completed in October 1956. Built in the 1950s, the St. Anthony Shopping Center was Minnesota's firststrip mall and was owned by theBatista family of Cuba.[8]
In the spring of 2006, theSt. Anthony Village High School Huskies claimed ISD 282's first state baseball championship. The Huskies won the championship again in 2008. The school has also won five Class AA state championships inKnowledge Bowl and has won one Minnesota Science Bowl competition.[citation needed]
St. Anthony is 4 miles (6 km) northeast of downtown Minneapolis. According to theUnited States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.37 square miles (6.14 km2), of which 2.25 square miles (5.83 km2) is land and 0.12 square miles (0.31 km2) is water.[9]
One of St. Anthony's longest and most widely used streets is Silver Lake Road. Named for Silver Lake in the northwest part of the city, it runs the length of St. Anthony from north to south. County Highway 88 is another of the city's main routes.Interstate 35W skims through the south near the St. Anthony Boulevard exit.[citation needed]
