The history of Bloomington can be traced back to the days before Minnesota was officially admitted as a state of the union. In 1843, Peter and Louisa Quinn, the first European settlers (white people) to live in Bloomington, built a cabin along the Minnesota River, close to where Portland Avenue is now[2]. The government had sent the Quinns to teach farming methods to the Native Americans and begin integrating them into the white man's culture. Also in that year, Gideon Pond and his brother Samuel, both missionaries, established the Oak Grove Mission. Gideon and his brother did not have permission to be on the Native American’s land and they did not know their language. They only knew a few soldiers at Fort Snelling who had sent the Ponds to a Dakota Indian village to teach them how to plow a field. Operating from within the log cabin he built for his family to live, Gideon held church services, taught school, and taught farming to the Native Americans.
