Highland Park History
When Highland Park was settled in 1848, the neighborhood was mostly comprised of Fort Snelling property. In 1854, approximately 5,000 acres were sold at $1.25 per acre to create farmland. Then during the early 1900s, Edgecumbe Road was developed and became the center of fashionable living in the area.
Ford Motor Company opened their Twin Cities Assembly Plant in Highland Park in 1925, originally assembling Model Ts. The remaining farmland was divided to provide more room for Ford and its employees. The Intercity Bridge, known today as the Ford Bridge, was built in 1927 to connect Minneapolis and St. Paul and create an easy commute for Ford employees. It is still in use today and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
