This bird’s-eye view print of
Saint Cloud, Minnesota was drawn by Albert Ruger and published by
Merchant’s Lithographing Co. in 1869. Saint Cloud was established along
the Mississippi River in the 1850's. The region’s rich soil provided good
farming of grains, grasses and corn.
The raising of livestock
was important to the area.
A Minnesota State Normal School began
operations in 1869 in an old three-story hotel near the river. The
institution is currently known as St. Cloud State University
The
map includes labeled streets, buildings and railroad route. There are
inset illustrations of the Union School and Court House.
