The West Side is located south of downtown St. Paul and is the only St. Paul neighborhood on the west bank of the Mississippi River. It is bounded by the Mississippi River on the north, east, and west and by the Ramsey County line on the south. The area of the community is approximately 3.42 miles square, 2,190 acres. It contains a variety of different natural features, including low floodplains to the north and sandstone bluffs in the south and west. The original vegetation of the area was largely a hardwood River Bottom Forest/Floodplain Forest, consisting of elm, ash, cottonwood, boxelder, silver maple, willow, aspen, and hackberry trees. The remaining brushland part of the neighborhood was Oak Openings and Barrens/Dry Oak Savanna, consisting of scattered trees and groves of oaks of scrubby form with some brush and thickets. The St. Paul Parks Department has identified 44 species of trees in the West Side, which are Green Ash-Summit, Marshalls, and Bergeson; Basswood; Burr Oak; Columnar Norway Maple; Catalpa; Crimson King Norway Maple; Cleveland Norway Maple; Emerald Lustre Norway Maple; Emerald Queen Norway Maple; Ginko; Greenspire Linden; Green Mountain Sugar Maple; Globe Norway Maple; Hackberry; Jade Glen Norway Maple; Japanese Tree Lilac; Northwood Red Maple; Eastern Pin Oak; River Birch; Redmond Linden; Boxelder; Schwedler Norway Maple; Ironwood; Canadian Red Cherry; Imperial Locust; Skyline Locust; Butternut; Black Walnut; Fairmont Ginko; Newport Ash; American Elm; Majesty Sugar Maple; Thornless Honey Locust; Silver Maple; Birch; Manitoba White Ash; Spirea Bushes; Cottonwood; Superform Norway Maple; Sentry Ginkgo; and Spring Snow Flowering Crab.
The West Side area also includes many interesting physical attractions, such as Harriet Island (no longer an island), Navy Island/Raspberry Island, Cherokee Heights, Lilydale Park, Holman airfield, and a number of limestone mines/caves. The West Side is connected to the rest of St. Paul through four important bridges, the Wabasha Street Bridge, the Robert Street Bridge, the Lafayette Freeway/Highway 52 Bridge, and the High Bridge (Smith Street.) The climatology and topography of the West Side inclines the area to the formation of temperature inversions, especially a radiation inversion, which is a normal nighttime occurrence.
Historically, the West Side was divided by steep river bluffs into two distinct neighborhoods, the Upper West Side, an area on top of the bluffs, and the Lower West Side, or the Flats, an area in the northeast portion of the district along the river that was originally a working class and industrial neighborhood and is now the Riverview Industrial Park. The Flats also include the Downtown St. Paul Airport/Metropolitan Airports Commission Holman field, which covers 540 acres of the eastern portion of the community and is classified as an intermediate use airport, with 140,000 landings or take-offs annually. There are 263 aircraft based at Holman field currently, with 60 military aircraft and 203 general aviation aircraft. Holman field is named for Charles W. "Speed" Holman (1898-1931,) who was born in Minneapolis, was nicknamed for his early career in motorcycle racing, learned to fly at the Security Aircraft Company at Speedway Field in 1920, was the first pilot hired by the newly organized Northwest Airways, had numerous wins in national air races, including the prestigious Thompson Trophy Race in 1930, part of the National Air Races in Chicago, in the E.M. Laird Airplane Company LC-DW-300 "Solution," the only biplane to ever win the Thompson Trophy Race, and died during an impromptu aerobatic performance at the dedication of the Omaha Airport. All rail lines on the West Side are currently owned by the Union Pacific RailRoad, and were formerly owned by the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific RailRoad, both acquired by the Union Pacific RailRoad. The West Side has three barge terminals. [See note on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific RailRoad for 571 Bellows Street.]
From 1851 to 1874, the West Side was part of Dakota County and was occupied first by the Dakota and later by French-Canadian, Irish, and German immigrants, some of whom farmed the area. George W. H. Bell (1812/1814-1900) and Mary Grogan Bell (1815- ) were the original settlers in the area. George W. H. Bell was born in Jackson County, Tennessee, moved to Minnesota in 1851, made the first claim to land in West St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1852, initially engaged in farming and cattle-raising, subsequently engaged in real estate, and died in St. Paul. The West Bank of the river was linked to the tiny community of St. Paul by ferry boats and the wood frame Wabasha Bridge, which opened in 1859. Early settlement of the low lying portion of the West Side was discouraged by frequent devastating floods of the Mississippi River. In 1858, the community was granted a charter by the State Legislature and became the city of West St. Paul. This government lasted four years and the charter was revoked, primarily due to financial difficulties. In 1874, the area was annexed by St. Paul, and became part of Ramsey County. The neighborhood gradually became known as the West Side, referring to its location on what is usually the west bank of the river. With extensive frontage on the Mississippi River and the system of natural caves formed in the limestone river bluffs, the West Side attracted early industries. In 1884, wetlands covered the area that is now occupied by the airport and the Mississippi was wider than it is now, making Harriet Island a true island.
The community is diverse and is home to one of St. Paul's largest Hispanic communities. West Side industries attracted immigrant groups to the area, beginning with the Germans and Irish who arrived in the 1870's. During the 1880's and 1890's, many eastern European and Russian Jews moved into the Lower West Side, creating a large Jewish neighborhood. By the 1920's, many of them had moved to other parts of the city, such as the Highland Park neighborhood, and a large contingent of Mexican Americans settled on the Lower West Side. Since World War II, a number of Lebanese, Syrians, African-Americans, American Indians, and Southeast Asians also have settled in the area. The West Side neighborhood currently has a population that is 51 percent people of color. Of the 16,133 inhabitants of the West Side in 2000, 9.01 percent were under age 5, 22.85 percent were older than age 4 and younger than age 18, 57.81 percent were older than age 17 and younger than age 65, and 10.33 percent were older than age 64. The community has an average of 2.85 persons per household. Children are present in 36 percent of households, with 55 percent of those children living in married couple families, 33 percent living in single-parent families, and 12 percent living with grandparents or in other family arrangements. The community has 5,736 housing units, of which 40.15 percent are rental units, 56.85 percent are owner-occupied, and three percent are vacant.
Seventy percent of the homes in the West Side were built before 1930, and their styles vary from Victorian to bungalow. The typical West Side home is a 1.5 or two-story, 1,200 to 1,500 square foot, three bedroom, single bath residence. Of housing units on the West Side, 57 percent are owner-occupied and 43 percent are renter-occupied. The average value of owner-occupied homes in 1997 was $62,856 and the average monthly rent in 1997 was $361. In 1997, for persons 25 years and older, 74.5 percent have graduated from high school (or equivalency) or had more education and 12.8 percent have completed a bachelor's degree or higher.

Edwards, a cutter employed by Armour & Company, and his wife, Tillie Edwards, resided at this address. Armour & Company was an American slaughterhouse and meatpacking company that was founded in Chicago, Illinois, in 1867. The firm was founded by the Armour brothers, principally Philip Danforth Armour (1832-1901.) Armour & Company was also notorious for its low pay and it actively fought unionisation, banning identified union activists and ruthlessly breaking strikes between 1904 and 1921 by employing African Americans and desperate immigrants as strikebreakers. In the early 1920's, Armour & Company encountered financial troubles and the Armour family sold its majority interest to Boston financier, Frederick H. Prince (1859-1953.) The company was not fully unionized until the late 1930's. It was sold to Greyhound Corporation in 1970 and was renamed the Dial Corporation. The food-related brands of the Dial Corporation, including Armour, were finally sold to Pinnacle Foods in 2004. Under Pinnacle ownership, over 150 meat products under the Armour label are currently manufactured under license by ConAgra Foods. Armour & Company was one of the "Big Five" large meat packers, along with Swift & Company, Cudahy Packing Company, Wilson & Company, and Morris & Company. John W.

Seeger and two of his sons, Gustav Seeger and Walter Seeger, partnered with a cabinetmaker and soon established the Seeger Refrigerator Company, which prospered in spite of protracted patent battles and inadequate manufacturing facilities on East Seventh Street. The Bohn Refrigerator Company was a forerunner of the Seeger Refrigerator Company. In 1900, the Seeger Refrigerator Company manufactured a dry-air syphon refrigerator, a wooden zinc-lined insulated ice box chilled by ice blocks. In 1910, the Seeger Refrigerator Company purchased the old Bohn sash and door factory at Arcade Street and Wells Street, where they remained until its closing (as Whirlpool) in 1984. According to an account in the Pioneer Press in 1910, the Seeger Refrigerator Company had around 60 employees. The company expanded after 1910 and began getting contracts from Marshall Field in Chicago and within a decade were manufacturing around 2,600 wooden ice boxes a year. By 1927, Seeger was manufacturing electric refrigerators. In the 1930's, the company made a handshake agreement to sell its refrigerators through Montgomery Ward. In 1941, the Seeger Refrigerator Company employed more than 2,500 people and manufactured more than 300,000 household cabinets. Seeger family members were leaders in founding or supporting some of the major institutions of the city, including the United Improvement Council to revitalize downtown, the St. Paul Public Library, the St. Paul Baseball Club, and the Civic Auditorium. A strike at the Seeger Refrigerator Company in 1940, organized by Refrigerator Workers Local 20459, AFL, was the biggest in the city since the 1922 railroad strike. In 1942, the company dedicated its facilities completely to the production of military products for World War II. In 1945, Sunbeam Electric Manufacturing merged with the Seeger Refrigerator Company and was known as Seeger-Sunbeam. In addition to refrigerators, the Seeger Refrigerator Company manufactured drop tanks with mounting pins, fuel caps and brackets for the North American F-86 Sabre aircraft. The Whirlpool Corporation acquired the Seeger Refrigerator Company and RCA's air conditioner and cooking range lines in 1955, when Seeger was 264th on the Fortune 500 list with annual revenues of $112.6 million, and changed its name to Whirlpool-Seeger Corporation.
