Why The Geneva Suites?
The city of Minneapolis grew around Saint Anthony Falls, which is also the highest waterfall on the Mississippi River. At the time, lumber was the prime industry and 17 sawmills were operated around the area. The residents used hydropower to great effect. In between 1880 to 1930 it was described as the greatest direct-drive waterpower the world has ever known. Grain from the Great Plains was transported to the city’s 34 flour mills and by 1905 it produced 10% of the country’s flour. While the city had humble beginnings, it eventually evolved into a prime area for the flour industry and later flourished to become a business and transportation center.

After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 where one hundred thousand acres of land was negotiated from the local Dakota tribes in 1805 for the purpose of establishing a fort. The territory sits on both banks of the Mississippi River beginning at Saint Anthony Falls until the Saint Croix River. Many settlers came and established themselves in the area due to the protection provided by the fort. At around the 1840s the community became an important trading center and a popular destination for settlers west bound. Father Lucien Galtier, a French Catholic priest was sent to establish a chapel in 1841. He named the chapel after his favorite, Saint Paul the Apostle. When the Minnesota Territory was established in 1849, Saint Paul was named as the capital of the new state.

The city of Blaine is located in Anoka County in Minnesota and is part of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. The 3 main routes in the city are Interstate Highway 35W, US Highway 10 and Minnesota State Highway 65.
Blaine was previously a part of the city of Anoka up until 1877. The first settler in Blaine was Philip Lady who lived near a lake which is now named after him, Laddie Lake. However, he died shortly upon arriving and his relatives moved to Minneapolis.
It was not until 1865 that Blaine saw its first permanent resident by the name of Green Chambers, a former slave who moved from Barren County, Kentucky after the Civil War. In 1870, George Wall, Joseph Gagner and others settled and the town grew.
1877 was the year that Blaine separated itself from Anoka and established a township of its own. It was at that time that Moses Ripley the first elected chairman of the Board of Supervisors persuaded the other board members to rename the new township in honor of James Blaine, a Republican senator and Speaker of the US House of Representatives. By 1880, the population of the fledgling township grew to 128.
Blaine’s sandy soil and rich wetlands discouraged farming and made the area more a prime hunting area than anything else. Blaine’s slow development ceased after World War 2 upon the introduction of starter developments in the southern part of the city which converted it to a more suburban area than rural.
The population grew from 1,694 in 1950 to 20,573 in 1970 to over 57,000 in 2010. For several years Blaine led the Twin Cities metro region in new home construction. The development of the city is attributed to the creation of Interstate Highway 35, US Highway 10 and Minnesota Highway 64 which increased access to the Twin Cities making it a prime location for residential and business development. Moreover, the opening of sand mines created thousands of acres of peat sod farms up for development.

The first inhabitants of the area where Chaska sits were Native American Mound builders. Later on, the Dakota nation or the Sioux were the primary settlers in the area. When the Treaty of Traverse de Sioux was ratified in 1851, more settlers moved in as the area became open for exactly that. The earliest was a man by the name of Thomas Andrew Holmes who in 1851 claimed a 20-acre area as the site for the Chaska town. The name of the city was actually derived from the Dakota tongue and is associated as a name given to a first-born male child. Town records show a David Fuller purchasing the “Shaska” townsite from Holmes in 1852 and platting was achieved in 1857. The city is known as the 8th best city in the US in 2007 and the 20th best in 2009.

Located in the north central portion of Hennepin County, the location of the City of Maple Grove was once the home of the Winnebago Indians who were transferred from Wisconsin to Maple Grove because the Federal Government announced that the area was uninhabited at the time. All this changed when in 1851, Louis Gervais and Pierre Bottineau arrived and began to stake their claim on the land. Other settlers like W.E. Evans, Harvey Abel, Patrick Defer and O.R. Champlin were already settled prior to 1855. All were allowed to buy their claims at the fair market value.
Town meetings were held in private residences from 1858 until 1863, when the first town hall was purchased. In 1877, the town supervisors ordered the construction of a new town hall and sold the original structure to the highest bidder for $23.00. The new building served as the town hall until 1939, when it was leveled by a tornado. The third town hall was constructed and still stands today, being used as a community building. The town board, consisting of three members, governed Maple Grove until 1954, when the town became incorporated into a village. In 1974 Maple Grove became a city. A new town hall was constructed on a site just north of the original town hall. The first city council meeting was held in the new building on August 4, 1975. The current Government Center opened its doors in October 2000.
Maple Grove today continues to be a vibrant and growing community in the Twin Cities. It is quite known for its public parks and trail system with a wide selection of shopping and dining spots. There is a wide selection of seasonal events like the Farmers Market, Town Green outdoor performance area and many more.

It was the Dakota Indians that settled in the area where Maplewood now stands. The area is a combination of prairie land, wetlands, lakes and scrub oak. By 1850 a group of pioneers from St. Paul and built log cabins in the area. These families were the Vincents, Conlins, Bells and the Caseys. However, the Dakota Indians who lived nearby still thought the land was still theirs and asked the settlers to leave. When the Ojibwa defeated the Dakota in 1853 at Battle Creek, settlers were finally allowed to construct their cabins. At about the same time, southern Maplewood was being settled when Thomas Carver started farming in 1852 to the west of Carver Lake.

Before it became St. Louis Park, the village was called Elmwood in the 1860s. That area is still existing as a small neighborhood within the city. August 1886 saw 31 people sign a petition to incorporate into the Village of St. Louis Park and officially got its registration on 19th of November 1886. The name St. Louis Park was a reference to the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway that ran in the area. “Park” was added in order to avoid confusion with St. Louis, Missouri. Tremendous growth was seen by 1893 with the downtown area establishing three hotels and the arrival of many businesses. By 1890, there were over 600 industrial occupations mostly centered on manufacturing and agriculture. The financial panic of 1893 put a halt to further expansion. It was only after the 2nd World War that St. Louis Park saw again a boom not only to its economy but also the population. Cityhood was gained in 1954.

The early inhabitants of White Bear came to the area around 1858, the same year Minnesota became a state. They settled in an area of about thirty eight square miles. What attracted these European settlers to settle there was the abundance of game, beautiful lakes and fertile soil for them to plant and farm. The beauty of the surroundings spread far and wide and eventually created a tourist economy. People would ride steamboats all the way from the Mississippi River or via train in order to spend their vacations at White Bear Lake. The tourist economy led to the development of many hotels, resorts, hostels, restaurants and shops around the city. At the turn of the century, the resort boom faded and was replaced by lumber and farming as the main sources of income for residents. In 1924 the township finally incorporated and development continued to grow. During the 1970s and 1980s, the city was able to acquire new territory through the purchase of land. Today, White Bear Lake is a bustling city of twenty four thousand people.

The first European settlers came to what is now known as Woodbury in 1844. Most of the settlers are of German stock but some were also from Switzerland, Ireland and Sweden. Initially known as Red Rock after the supposed sacred stone that Chief Little Crow of the Dakota painted, the small settlement was renamed Woodbury in 1859 when the state legislature received information that there was another township in the state that was also called Red Rock Township. The name Woodbury was in honor of Judge Levi Woodbury of New Hampshire a close friend of the first board chairman of the new settlement. Judge Woodbury was also known as the 1st SC justice to attend law school.
During the early years of the township most of the area was rich in timber. A Herculean effort was needed to clear the land so that farming could begin. The main crop was wheat but they also grew potatoes, soybeans, corn and barley. Development of farm technology in the 1950s brought more fertilization and better crop rotation. By 1955, the first housing development called the Woodbury Heights was established. Urban development later on overshadowed agriculture resulting to loss of farmland, However, steps have been taken in order to preserve the wide open spaces and natural resources resulting to protection of several hundred acres of land.
