Welcome to Stillwater, Minnesota. Stillwater is a dynamic, growing community of over 18,000 residents nestled into the bluffs of the St. Croix River, one of America's protected Wild and Scenic Waterways.
In the 1850s huge steam-powered mills and a log-holding boom were built and Stillwater became the supply depot for the entire St. Croix valley. Early stage roads connected the city to St. Paul, Marine, and Point Douglas.
