St. Anthony West is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Minneapolis as part of northeast Minneapolis. Our historic neighborhood was established in 1849 on the banks of the Mississippi River as the Village of St. Anthony Falls. Later, we were merged with the new city of Minneapolis in the late 1850s. The neighborhood is within walking distance of downtown and the University of Minnesota. St. Anthony West is also host to Boom Island Park, a 14-acre riverside park. St.Anthony West is well known for the lighthouse on the Mississippi River located on Boom Island near the Plymouth Avenue Bridge. It is not a functional lighthouse but a landmark.Today, we are proud and pleased to be a part of the transformation taking place along the river in northeast Minneapolis.
