History
North St. Paul was originally called Castle, and under the latter name was laid out in 1887 by Henry Anson Castle when the Wisconsin Central Railroad was extended to that point.
North St. Paul boasts the oldest continuously operating bar in Minnesota, Neumann's Bar, in their historic downtown area. The original bar opened for business in 1887, and has continuously operated as an establishment serving alcoholic beverages ever since. Even during Prohibition, they served near beer in the main bar, and opened a speakeasy upstairs. Visitors can still go upstairs and see the keyhole door used to screen entrants, and the old telephone that was connected to the downstairs bar so that messages could be passed back and forth.
