St. Anthony, also known as Saint Anthony Village, is a city in Hennepin and Ramsey counties in the U.S. state of Minnesota. The population was 8,012 at the 2000 census. About 6,000 residents live in the larger Hennepin County part of the city, with about 2,000 residents in the Ramsey County part. The city is run by a five-member Council consisting of a mayor and four Council members who serve 4 year terms. It was formed as a township in 1861 and became a village in 1945. (All Minnesota villages became cities in 1974, but St. Anthony is still referred to popularly as St. Anthony Village.) St. Anthony Township once encompassed most of what is today Northeast Minneapolis. When Minneapolis annexed most of St. Anthony Township (and some other townships in other parts of the city) in 1887, the less than two square miles of what is now the Hennepin County portion of St. Anthony was not included and remained an unincorporated area until 1945.
