On This Date in Minnesota History: September 18

September 18, 1881 – “Property on the northeast shore of White Bear Lake finally came before the public eye. Augustus Kirby Barnum…registered the plat. It was a family affair, as Barnum's wife, Carrie Josephine, cosigned the document, and his half-brother, William Hewitt, acted as witness and notary. Named the plat Dellwood.”
