This part of Minneapolis is well known for its industrial and immigrant heritage. The Mississippi River and St. Anthony Falls became a huge source of power for several industries including sawmills, textile mills and flour mills. As the industrial boom declined, the face of Northeast’s population began to change. In the early years, mainly Polish, German and Scandinavian immigrants settled in this part of the city. Now Northeast is comprised of a diverse mix of people of all ethnicities and from all walks of life.

Northeast has experienced dramatic revitalization throughout the past decade. Old buildings continue to be converted into art galleries, condominiums and restaurants. However, this renaissance still embraces the old historic charm that makes Northeast a one-of-a-kind place to work, live and visit. Northeast is truly making history again.
