St Paul - Thomas-Dale
 Thomas-Dale, also known as Frogtown, has an active community of stakeholders who work together to preserve and improve the neighborhood’s quality of life. These stakeholders — residents, merchants and local agencies — contribute their time and funding to create opportunities and positive experiences for Thomas-Dale’s younger residents.
Public education in the Thomas-Dale neighborhood and throughout St. Paul is provided by Saint Paul Public Schools. The district is the second largest in the state, serving more than 40,000 students. With 67 different schools, Saint Paul Public Schools provides for the educational needs of everyone from pre-kindergarteners to adult learners. Opportunities for secondary education are available as well. The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities has a main campus in St. Paul. The institution is known for its excellent research facilities and diverse program options. Other universities in the city include Metropolitan State University, part of the Minnesota State University system, and Hamline University, which is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. The Thomas-Dale neighborhood was established in the 1860s and is one of St. Paul’s oldest communities. Like many other American communities in that era, Thomas-Dale was brought to life by railroad construction. In those days, it was called the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad; today it is known as Burlington Northern. By the early-1880s, trains were running on the tracks and railroad maintenance shops were popping up along Jackson Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Residential development followed, as railroad workers sought out nearby housing. Much of the housing built in the 1890s in Thomas-Dale remains — home seekers will enjoy the diverse selection of these historic homes, many built in Queen Anne, Eastlake and Colonial Revival styles. |
