'''Saint Anthony West''' is a neighborhood in the [[Northeast, Minneapolis|Northeast]] community of [[Minneapolis]].

The neighborhood is within walking distance of downtown and the [[University of Minnesota]]. St. Anthony West is also host to [[Boom Island Park]], a 14-acre riverside park. Broadway Street NE is the northern boundary, and the neighborhood extends to Second Avenue on the south. The Mississippi River makes up the western extent and Washington and Fifth streets NE define the eastern boundary. [http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/neighborhoods/stanthonywest_profile_home.asp]

He named the falls after his patron saint, St. Anthony of Padua. The neighborhood merged with the new city of Minneapolis in 1872.
