History

Bayport actually began as three smaller settlements along the St. Croix River. The Railway Improvement Combined those settlements in 1873 and incorporated this new area as a village called South Stillwater in 1881. This proved to be confusing and in 1922 the name was changed to Bayport.

Much of the early economy was based on the lumber industry, with several sawmills in operation and is the place where Anderson of patio and window fame began. Bayport is also home to Oak Park Heights Maximum Security Correction Facility, which houses about 1600 inmates.

Due to easy access to the St. Croix River, Bayport had a thriving boating industry through World War II and now offers public access to the river and many boat ramps throughout the city.
