This can be for a variety of reason, absorbed into another city, wiped off the face of the earth by act of God or Legislature, etc...
Two that come to mind:
(Old) St. Anthony: absorbed into Minneapolis. Now the neighborhoods of Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis.
(Old) West St. Paul: Now St. Paul's West Side Neighborhood.
Ceased being a city after costly street improvements and a series of floods in the mid to late 1800's bankrupted the city. |
