I'm going to add Marilyn Carroll back to the notable residents since the NPOV has been removed (please see talk page of Marilyn Carroll why).Carniv 02:20, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone confirmed that Mahtomedi actually means White Bear Lake in Dakota? I grew up in Mahtomedi, and that was always the 'story', but recently I looked into some Dakota language materials, and Mahto indeed means 'bear', but the Dakota for white is 'ska' - I couldn't find any confirmation of what -medi means. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosa luxemb (talk • contribs) 03:29, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lacking citations on the first part of this here, but to Rosa's question, I believe the "white" (or "grey", depending on source) only comes from the full legend referenced, not in the name itself - so it's semi-implied. As for the -medi, that's a transliteration of the more accepted mdé, which does mean lake^[1], apparently as a dialectical variation of what's seen elsewhere as bdé.

History[edit]

I have some gripes with wording here, but am not ready to actually rework it, so will just drop a note in here for now:

Only the first small part of Mahtomedi was platted in (maybe) 1883 - there were several other plats that followed in the 1880s and 1890s in the area originally called "Mahtomedi" and "East Shore" (the northern part of the city), and it expanded from there with several new plats and annexations over the years. I'm actually not even sure about the validity of that 1883 date, since the "Mahtomedi Assembly" plat (which I thought was first) is dated 1888. It's possible that the 1883 date is actually for the never-developed Town of Wilson, an earlier real estate speculation failure.
The existing post office is in Willernie (formerly "Wildwood Manor"), not Mahtomedi, and is completely different from the original 1880s post office, which really was in the original and current Mahtomedi. The original post office was adjacent to the railway station labelled "Mahtomedi", at what is now the intersection of Quail Street and Briarwood Avenue.
