Some Historical Facts about the Como Park Area
Like most of Ramsey County, the Como area was primarily used as farmland by early settlers in the 1850′s to the 1880′s. During the early 1850′s an ambitious St. Paul real estate speculator, Henry “Broad Acres” McKenty, purchased land around the northern and eastern shores of Lake Como expecting to create a prime resort area. In 1856 McKenty financed the construction of the “Como Road” leading from downtown St. Paul to the lake, a route which roughly followed the path of today’s Como Avenue. Several resort hotels were constructed around the lake in the 1860′s by other investors and the area was linked to St. Paul by an early horse drawn omnibus which traveled on the Como Road beginning in 1863. The city of St. Paul became interested in the beauty of the area and circa 1873 purchased two hundred and fifty-six acres on the west side of the lake for the creation of a park on the recommendation of Horace W. S. Cleveland, a nationally known landscape architect who helped establish much of the St. Paul and Minneapolis park systems. The land remained undeveloped for several years. Beginning in 1883 the City used the southeast forty acres of the site for a city workhouse complex. In 1887 the city hired Cleveland to design the park’s roadways and landscape. More improvements followed as the zoo was established in 1897, the lakeside pavilion was constructed in 1905-06, and the conservatory was built in 1915. Residential development occurred slowly, despite the platting and promotion of the Warrendale commuter suburb on the southwest shore of the lake. Electric streetcar tracks first linked Como Park to the city in 1892. In 1898 the tracks were extended through the park westward along Como Avenue where they were linked to the Minneapolis streetcar system, forming the “Como-Harriet” interurban line. Streetcar service was improved in 1924 and 1927, spurring some development in the southern portions of the district, however most of the northern portions remained undeveloped until after World War II.
