The neighborhood that is now Highland park was the site of the first permanent settlements in Ramsey County, but one of the last residential areas in St. Paul to be fully developed. Highland Park grew slowly until the 1920s. In the 1920s streetcars began serving the area and Ford Motors began operating an assembly plant on Mississippi River Boulevard. The Highland Village Shopping Center and Highland Village Apartments opened in 1939. After World War II many new houses were built, the shopping center was expanded, and the Sibley Plaza Shopping Center was created. [1]
Highland Park is home to St. Catherine University, Highland Park, Hillcrest Park, McDonough Park and Crosby Lake Regional Park.
