After settlement began in Winona, MN, in 1851, the city's growth was
fueled by the Mississippi riverboat trade. Groups of immigrants passed
through the "Gate City," and many stayed, founding enduring ethnic
communities and building a city that for a brief time rivaled Minneapolis.
The settlement covered the sandy flats with houses, churches, colleges,
and factories, and carved the hill "Wapasha's Cap" into the landmark now
known as Sugar Loaf. |
