Pig's Eye



In 1841, Father Lucien Galtier, a French Catholic missionary, built the Church of Saint Paul on the bank of the Mississippi River.  This chapel rested on the site of the present City of Saint Paul, which was named after the chapel.  Before this time, the area had been called Pigs Eye after the saloon proprietor Pierre“Pigs Eye” Parrant.
