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.
At that time it was the largest incorporated area in the state. By 1857 the population was 2,800, soaring to 13,700 by 1884. As the lumber industry gave out, Stillwater lost population until it bottomed at around 7,000 in 1940.
