The fa'st ground broken for <br /> cultivation in Anoka County in the Minnesota Territory was six acres in front of I.W. <br /> Patch's house in the town of Ramsey. The land was cultivated by Cornelius Pitman in <br /> the spring of 1850. <br /> <br />· The city's continuing tradition of progress and growth: from sealers bearing hard times <br /> to succeed at fanning the area 150 years ago, to the commercial and residential <br /> expansion and growth today. <br /> <br />SOURCE IVIATERIALS <br />The History of Ramsey by Jean James.
