Do you see that giant snowman? The North Saint Paul Snowman, as it’s affectionately known, stands proudly in the city. It’s not just any snowman; it’s a 20-ton, 25-foot tall structure. North Saint Paul, a small city in Ramsey County, Minnesota, is a unique place. Its history is woven into the fabric of this suburban area, which is unlike its neighbors. Instead of modern developments, you’ll see older brick buildings in this historic downtown area. While standing here, take a second to imagine the town’s past. The Wisconsin Central Railroad was a big reason for North Saint Paul’s origin. It cut through the city’s center in 1885. Henry Anson Castle, a visionary leader, saw the potential and founded the town, which was first called Castle. He set up stores, built churches and homes, creating a community that was vibrant and growing. People were attracted by the factories and businesses that were popping up, creating a bustling small-town atmosphere. It’s a place where people come together, share their lives, and create a sense of community. This spirit remains strong even today, despite the ups and downs of history. So take a moment to appreciate the heart of this extraordinary town. It’s something special.
