Swede Home Lutheran<br>Clarkfield, Minnesota  

 

Scandia in Washington County is known as the home of the first Swedish settlers in Minnesota in 1850.&nbsp; For history, historic sites, a timeline, and relevant online indexes see&nbsp;[http://www.wchsmn.org/scandia/]

Swede Hollow was a neighborhood of Saint Paul, Minnesota.&nbsp; Swedish immigrants arriving in the 1850s gave their new home in this valley the name "Svenska Dalen" or Swede Hollow in English.&nbsp; It was a valley where some of the poorest Swedish immigrants settled.&nbsp; Residences were constructed almost entirely from scrapped building materials.&nbsp; Because of this and other poor conditions, the area can be described as a slum.&nbsp; The Swedes moved on and the area was later populated by waves of other poor immigrants -- Poles, Italians, and Mexicans.  

Today the area has been cleaned up and has been designated as a nature center.&nbsp; It has returned to its original woodland state and is a part of the city park, Swede Hollow Park.&nbsp;
