| The City of Saint Paul, Minnesota, is divided into 17 city
planning districts, which are further subdivided into neighborhoods. Many
neighborhood organizations have erected boundary signs or fly banners to
welcome people to their part of the city. Click on a district below to see

#1 Battle Creek District
Battle Creek is both a planning district and a neighborhood. The district
also includes the Highwood Hills and Sunray Neighborhoods. Battle Creek
is named after a stream that feeds into Pigs Eye Lake. The creek is
named after a small battle between rival Indian tribes in 1842.

|
Highwood Hills Neighborhood
Highwood Hills was developed in an area of rolling hills. It featured
narrow curving roads to give the neighborhood some character. This did
not have a wide appeal, so development was slow until the automobile
became common after WWII and the roads were improved.

#4 Dayton's Bluff District
Dayton's Bluff was plated in 1857 by Lyman Dayton, a land and railroad
speculator from Vermont. It was developed to be an exclusive neighborhood
for wealthy people. By the 1880s, its potential as an exclusive area
had run its course, and the neighborhood developed in a more economically
and socially diverse manner.

|
Dayton's Bluff Historic District
The Dayton's Bluff Historic District was created in 1992 to recognize the
historical and architectural significance of the 100 year old homes in
the neighborhood.
