History of Fridley

From frontier settlement to modern community

The City of Fridley, Minnesota has a rich heritage dating back to 1847, when pioneer John Banfill established the historic Banfill Tavern at the confluence of Rice Creek and the Mississippi River along the Red River Oxcart Trail.

Originally known as "Manomin" (meaning wild rice in the Ojibwe language), this settlement represented one of the earliest European establishments in what would become Anoka County. The community's transformation began when Abram M. Fridley, early legislator and namesake of the city, arrived in 1851 and later represented the area in the Minnesota Legislature in 1855.

The historic Banfill-Locke House (1847) served ox-cart travelers and loggers and still stands along the river today as a testament to Fridley's frontier heritage.
