South St. Paul once was home to the largest stockyards in the world. Alpheus B. Stickney, a prominent railroad businessman, had the vision of a potential stockyard, and in 1886, he organized the St. Paul Union Stockyards in St. Paul. Eventually, the stockyards moved to South St. Paul, which was founded in 1887. Almost every family in the city of South St. Paul had a connection to the 160-acre livestock operation along the Mississippi River. The stockyards eventually attracted four major meatpacking plants, including Swift & Company in 1897 and Armour & Company in 1919. Meatpacking and its related businesses became the heart of South St. Paul’s economy. World War II brought peak years to the meatpacking industry when the plants had government contracts to supply military needs worldwide. In their heyday, the big meatpackers and others employed thousands of immigrants, mainly Eastern Europeans. In the late 1960's and 1970's, the meatpacking market decentralized and the sprawling meatpacking plants became obsolete. Swift’s meatpacking plant closed its doors in 1969, while Armour remained open until 1979. In 1990 the Armour plant was demolished and was replaced with an industrial park.

The association, operated by Dr. Peter Ward, Dr. Arthur Calvin, and its first manager, E. A. van Steewyk, began with a capital investment of $857, and a basic annual premium of $9.00. Contract 1, Group 1, was taken out in July 1933 by the employees of the St. Paul Union Stockyards. In 1934, van Steewyk chose a "blue Greek or Geneva cross, a symbol of relief for those struck by disaster" as the association’s logo. In 1939, it became the national symbol of pre-paid hospitalization plans. The Minnesota setup became a national model. Van Steewyk left for Philadelphia in 1939, replaced by Dr. Calvin. In 1940 the number of participating hospitals reached 75, the number of subscribers, over 380,000. Growth continued through World War II and after.

Mennonites are a Christian faith group that began in the 16th century as an outgrowth of the Anabaptist movement in Europe. They were called "Anabaptists" or "re-baptizers" because they insisted that water baptism should be reserved for adults only. In 1536, Menno Simons (1496- ,) a Catholic priest, joined the Anabaptists, whose network was growing in spite of intense persecution of the members and martyrdom for its leaders. From his studies of the Scriptures, Menno Simons began to write and teach about community, mutual aid, sharing of resources, support to widows, their children and the poor, sister/brotherhood among believers, simple life-style, nonresistance, nonviolence, peacemaking, and servanthood, the values of Mennonites. The denominational name "Mennonite" was first used as a nickname, but through the centuries it has become an accepted label. There are about 60 separate organized groups that derived from Anabaptism, including Mennonite Brethren (168 congregations,) Brethren in Christ Churches – 196 congregations,) Old Order Amish (1,159 Districts,) Old Order Mennonites, including Groffdale Conference, Weaverland, Stauffer, Wisler subgroups (124 congregations,), Church of God in Christ Mennonite, sometimes called Holdeman (111 congregations,) Conservative Mennonite (97 congregations,) Beachy Amish (103 congregations,) Evangelical Mennonite Church (31 congregations,) New Order Amish (60 congregations,) Mennonite Fellowship Churches (47 congregations,) Amish Mennonite (13 congregations,) Mennonite Christian Fellowship (23 congregations,) Evangelical Mennonite Brethren (4 congregations,) Old Colony Mennonite (1 congregation,) Old Order River Brethren (5 congregations,) Reformed Mennonite (9 congregations,) Reinlander Mennonite (2 congregations,) the Hutterites, including the Schmiedeleut (the Hutterian Brethren and the Committee Hutterites,) the Lehrerleut, and the Dariusleut (458 colonies,) and the Church of the Brethren (in excess of 1,000 congregations.) The Amish, or Old Order Mennonites, split in 1693, when Jacob Ammann, a Swiss Anabaptist leader, felt that Mennonite church leaders were not holding to strict separation from the world and that spiritual renewal was needed. Ammann did not believe that the Mennonite penalty of shunning was being properly practiced and separated from the Anabaptists over this issue, over differences related to the celebration of Communion, and over the practice of the washing of feet. His followers were nicknamed "Amish." Amish faith and life is governed by a largely unwritten set of rules known as the "Ordnung" (i.e. order.) The 1887 city directory indicates that Mr. and Mrs. J.

Swift adapted the methods of the industrial revolution to meat packing operations, which resulted in huge efficiencies by allowing his plants to produce at a massive scale. The work was divided into a myriad of specific sub-tasks, which were carried out under the direction of supervisory personnel. Swift & Company was broken down organizationally into various divisions, each one responsible for conducting a different aspect of the business of "bringing meat from the ranch to the consumer." When Swift died, his company was valued at between $25 million and $35 million, had a workforce that was more than 21,000, slaughtered as many as two million cattle, four million hogs, and two million sheep each year. Gus Swift is a member of the American National Business Hall of Fame. The current owner of record of the property is Andrea A. Jager, who resides in Maplewood, Minnesota.
