Discover the Rich History of St. James MN
Click Here to Read MoreIn the year 1867, a meeting for directors of the St. Paul and Sioux City Railroad Company created the decision that the center of Watonwan County, Minnesota would serve best as the halfway point between these divisions of the railroad. General Sibley, a member of the board of directors, proposed a lengthy Dakota Indian name for the town to be developed at this division point. The next morning, the President of the road, E. F. Drake, inquired as to the name proposed for the new town but General Sibley had forgotten it. Mr. Drake proposed a name they could all remember, St. James. This division point, halfway between St. Paul and Sioux City, was called St. James by railroad men three years before any buildings existed.
