Description: Rare early original vintage mounted gelatin silver photograph of the main street and buildings of St, John, North Dakota Territory. Back has pencil notation, “Feb. 1900 - St. John - N. Dak. Terr.”. This is a vintage photograph and not a copy or reproduction. Father John F. Malo, a pioneer of the area, was responsible for what would become St. John, North Dakota. He was known to be in the area as early as 1879 when he was a missionary. The town grew as more settlers came to the area. As the population increased the town developed southward towards the current site of St. John. Mr. Martineau opened up the first general store around 1883. There was also an office built for the US Customs, St. John was one of the first ports of entry into this unsurveyed region. Other businesses such as a hotel, a saloon and a pool hall were quick to follow. A flour mill, the first in Rolette County, was brought in and erected on land in Section 22. Photograph measures 4 x 5 inches and is in excellent condition with no bends, tears, or creases and is very sharp and has strong tones with good contrast and clarity.
