St. Cloud History...
The “Preserving St. Cloud” History Tours will take you back to a simpler time in St. Cloud when front porches were used to greet neighbors and horse drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation in downtown St. Cloud. Before starting the tour, please take a few minutes to learn about St. Cloud’s origins. Three towns, first known as Upper, Middle, and Lower Town, comprised the early permanent settlement of St. Cloud. The trio, arranged around two deep ravines that joined the Mississippi River, were incorporated as the City of St. Cloud in 1856. St. Cloud soon became a trade and processing center for the surrounding agricultural region. The arrival of the railroad and the founding of the first granite quarry in 1868 attracted new settlers and brought more economic progress. By 1900, transportation and natural resources helped maintain St. Cloud’s prominence as one of Minnesota’s largest cities. The “Preserving St. Cloud” History Tours—Riverwalk Tour will explore 16 landmarks along the Mississippi River because every landmark has a story to tell. Getting Started...It’s Simple
