Rondo Neighborhood

The Rondo Neighborhood, located in St. Paul, Minnesota, is a historically significant African American community that thrived from the early 20th century until the 1960s. It was known for its vibrant culture, businesses, and social institutions. However, in the 1960s, the construction of Interstate 94 and urban renewal efforts disrupted and displaced many residents and businesses, leading to economic and social challenges. Today, Rondo is recognized for its rich history and resilience, with efforts underway to preserve its cultural legacy and reconnect community members.
