History

Sioux natives, established city

The Native American Dakota Sioux was the only inhabitant in the region when French explorers arrived around 1680. For a time, friendly relations were based on feather trade. Gradually more European-American settlers arrived, competing for games and other resources with Dakota.

In the early 19th century, the United States acquired this region from France. Gradually established a post here. Fort Snelling was built in 1819 by the United States Army, and it attracted traders, settlers and traders, spurring growth in the area. The United States government pressed the band Mdewakanton Dakota to sell their land, allowing people coming from the East to settle here. Minnesota Territorial Legislature authorizes Minneapolis as a city in 1856 on the west bank of Mississippi. Minneapolis was incorporated as a city in 1867, a year-old rail service started between Minneapolis and Chicago. It then joins the city of St. Anthony in the east-bank in 1872.

Water Strength; wood grinding and flour

Minneapolis developed around Saint Anthony Falls, the highest waterfall on the Mississippi River and a source of strength for the early industry. Forests in northern Minnesota are a valuable resource for the timber industry, which operates seventeen sawmills from waterfalls. In 1871, the western riverbanks had twenty-three businesses, including mills, wool mills, ironworks, railroad shops, and factories for cotton, paper, belts, and wood plans. Due to the dangers of grinding work, six locally made foot sources competed in the prosthetic business in the 1890s. Farmers in Great Plains cultivated grain shipped to thirty-four flour mills in the city. Millers have been using hydropower elsewhere since the 1st century BCE, but the results in Minneapolis between 1880 and 1930 are so remarkable that the city has been described as "the world's largest ever moving water powerhouse."

The father of the modern American mills and founder of General Mills, Cadwallader C. Washburn transformed his business from gristmills to real revolutionary technology, including a gradual "gradual reduction" process by steel and porcelain rollers capable of producing premium quality pure white flour. very fast. Several ideas were developed by William Dixon Gray and some were obtained through industrial espionage from Hungary by William de la Barre. Charles A. Pillsbury and C.A. The Pillsbury company across the river barely backed down, hiring Washburn employees to get on with the new method immediately. The hard red spring grains growing in Minnesota became valuable ($ 50 profit per barrel in 1871 increased to $ 4.50 in 1874), and Minnesota "patent" flour recognized at the time as the best in the world.

It was not until consumers found value in bran (which contained vitamins, minerals, and wheat fiber) that "Minneapolis... milling is routinely discarded" to Mississippi. Millers fostered relationships with academic scientists especially at the University of Minnesota. The scientists supported them politically on many issues, for example in the early 20th century, when health advocates in the newborn nutrition criticized the process of "bleaching" flour. At the peak of production, the single plant at Washburn-Crosby made enough flour for 12 million loaves daily, and by 1900, 14.1 percent of American grains were milled in Minneapolis. Furthermore, in 1895 through the efforts of silent partner William Hood Dunwoody, Washburn-Crosby exported four million barrels of flour a year to England, and when exports peaked in 1900, about one third of all ground flour in Minneapolis was delivered. overseas.

Corruption, social movements, urban renewal

Known initially as a friendly doctor, Doc Ames led the city into corruption for four periods as mayor just before 1900. Gangster Kid Cann was famous for bribery and intimidation during the 1930s and 1940s. The city made a dramatic change to correct discrimination as early as 1886 when Martha Ripley founded the Maternity Home for both married and unmarried mothers.

When the state's wealth changed during the Great Depression, the cruel Strike Teamsters of 1934 produced a law that recognized workers' rights. As a civil rights activist and lifelong trade union advocate, mayor Hubert Humphrey helped the city establish a fair labor practice and intermediate human relations council in the name of a minority in 1946. In the 1950s, about 1.6% of the population of Minneapolis was not White skin. Minneapolis competes with white supremacy, participates in desegregation and civil rights movements, and in 1968 was the birthplace of the American Indian Movement.

Minneapolis was the site of "anti-semitism" until 1950. A group of hatred known as the American Silver Legion, or Silver T-shirt, recruited members in the city and held meetings there between 1936 and 1938. The Jewish Free Employment Bureau attempted to assist victims of economic discrimination , with limited success. In 1938, the Minnesota Jewish Public Relations Council and Dakotas were established to combat rising anti-Semitism, fighting hateful leaflets and anti-Jewish commentary, while also seeking to expose discrimination by real estate agents and entrepreneurs seeking to subvert anti- -discrimination. After years of discrimination against Jewish doctors, the Jewish community raised funds to build Mount Sinai Hospital, which opened in 1951. It was the first private non-sectarian hospital in the community to accept members of minority races on its medical staff.

During the 1950s and 1960s, as part of urban renewal, the city destroyed about 200 buildings in 25 city blocks (approximately 40% of the city center), destroyed the Gateway District and many famous architectural buildings, including the Metropolitan Building. The effort to save the building failed but was credited with sparking an (but not always successful) interest in historical conservation in the state.

Geography and climate

The history and growth of Minneapolis's economy are related to the water, the physical characteristic of the city, brought to the region in the last ice age of ten thousand years ago. Ice beams are kept in the valley by a backward glacier creating the lake of Minneapolis. Taken by a receding glacier and Lake Agassiz, the swift waters of the glacial river cut across the Mississippi river and created the only waterfall on the river, Saint Anthony Falls, which was important to early Minneapolis settlers.

Lying on the artesian aquifer and flat terrain, Minneapolis has a total area of ​​58.4 square miles (151.3 km 2 ) and 6% is water. Water supply is managed by four river basins that correspond to Mississippi and three rivers in the city. Twelve lakes, three large pools, and five unnamed wetlands are in Minneapolis.

The city center is located at latitude 45 Â ° LS. The city's lowest altitude is 686 feet (209 m) near where Minnehaha Creek meets the Mississippi River. The site of Prospect Park Water Tower is often referred to as the city's highest point and the plaque at Deming Heights Park shows the highest altitude. A place at 974 feet (297 m) at or near Waite Park in Northeast Minneapolis, however, is corroborated by Google Earth as the highest point.

Minneapolis City Council has the greatest strength and represents the 13 city districts called wards. The city adopted an instant runoff vote in 2006, first using it in the 2009 elections. The council has 12 DFL members and one from the Green Party. Election issues in 2013 include funding for a new Viking stadium where some petahana lose their positions. That year, Minneapolis chose Abdi Warsame, Alondra Cano, and Blong Yang, the first city council members in the United States, Mexican-Americans, and Hmong-Americans, respectively.

Jacob Frey of DFL is the current mayor of Minneapolis. The mayor's office is relatively weak but has the power to appoint people like the police chief. Parks, taxation and public housing are semi-independent boards and their own tax levies and fees are subject to the Board of Estimates and tax limits. Lisa Bender is the current president of the City Council.

Despite allegations of racial profiling; the result is a decline in a major crime. Since 1999 the number of killings has increased over the past four years. Politicians debate the causes and solutions, including increasing the number of police officers, providing youth with alternatives to gangs and drugs, and helping families in poverty.

From 2006 to 2012, under the leadership of Tim Dolan, crime rates continued to decline, and police benefited from video resources and new gunfire, though Dolan was criticized for expensive city settlements due to police misconduct. While violent crimes declined (from 6,374 in 2006 to 3,720 in 2011), murder increased by 105% and rape was at the highest level among major cities. US. News & amp; World Report said in 2011 that Minneapolis is tied to Cleveland, Ohio as the 10th most dangerous city in the United States.

Serving until January 2019, Medaria Arradondo is the police chief. The government had previously faced strong criticism after police shot Jamar Clark who died in 2015.
