I recall a few threads last year about how neighborhoods got named
and, in particular, a debate about whether it is the "Kingfield" or "King
Field" neighborhood and what "King" the field was named after. On Saturday
evening, I was browsing at a used-book shop in Stillwater, and came across
an 1874 map of Minneapolis and the surrounding area. An area consisting of
several adjacent tracts east of Lake Calhoun, which was then well outside
the city limits, was labeled "Col. W.S. King Farm."
