History:  

SOUTH ST. PAUL, organized asWest St. Paul Township on May 11, 1858, and incorporated as a city, but returned to township status in 1862; it reincorporated on March 2, 1887, absorbing West St. Paul Township until February 1889, when the city of West St. Paul was incorporated from the western portion of South St. Paul. In 1889, Inver Grove Township annexed the southern part of South St. Paul; it reincorporated as a city on January 20, 1906, and in the 1960s annexed acreage from Inver Grove Township. Its post office was established in 1888.

South St. Paul: A Brief History South St. Paul: A Brief History
"Incorporated in 1887, South St. Paul grew rapidly as the blue-collar counterpart to the bright lights and sophistication of its cosmopolitan neighbors Minneapolis and St. Paul. Its prosperous stockyards and slaughterhouses ranked the city among America's largest meatpacking centers. The proud city fell on hard economic times in the second half of the twentieth century. Broad swaths of empty buildings were razed as an enticement to promised redevelopment programs that never happened. In 1990, South St. Paul began to chart out its own successful path to renewal with a pristine riverfront park, a trail system and a business park where the stockyards once stood. Author and historian Lois A. Glewwe brings the story of the city's revival to life in this history of a remarkable community"--Back cover.
