Highlights of Richfield in 1954: Building Slows To A Rapid Rate

Of all the suburban villages surrounding Minneapolis and St. Paul, Richfield grew the fastest during the post-war years. A brochure published by the village in 1954 noted that growth was slowing down: only 609 permits were issued for building homes in 1954, compared with 905 the previous year.
