Robert street is one of the original 15 streets that made up St. Paul in 1849. Did you ever who is was named after? Well wonder no more. It was named after Captain Louis Robert who was a French Canadian fur trader. He owned some boats and part of St. Paul and he named the road.
I know this is all old news but I was driving over the Robert street bridge yesterday and was wondering how it got it’s name so I did a little research.
