About

The St. Anthony Falls Historic District in Minneapolis has a rich history that dates back to the mid-19th century when the area was a hub of flour milling and other industrial activities. The district is named after St. Anthony Falls, a natural waterfall on the Mississippi River that was a source of power for the mills and factories in the area. Home to the beloved St. Anthony Main, this area is blocks away from Northeast Minneapolis, but the district lies just outside of the popular “Nordeast” area. Today, the district is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, thanks to its historic buildings, walkable trails, river views, unique restaurants, and vibrant arts scene.
