Swede Hollow was a neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota. It was one of a large group of neighborhoods collectively known as the East Side, lying just to the east of the near-downtown Railroad Island neighborhood, and at the northwestern base of Dayton's Bluff. It was capped in the north by the sprawling Hamm's Brewery (with its imposing Hamm family mansion), and in the south by the historic Seventh Street Improvement Arches. Although one of the oldest settlements in the city, it was also arguably the poorest as each wave of immigrants settled in the valley. Swedes, Poles, Italians and Mexicans all at one point called the valley home. A similar community just downstream called Connemara Patch also existed for Irish immigrants.

  • Swede Hollow var ett bostadsområde i East Side i Saint Paul i den amerikanska delstaten Minnesota. Det är numera en park, Swede Hollow Park. I slutet av 1800-talet började invandrare, främst svenska, att bosätta sig i skjul i dalen, som därför fick namnet Svenska dalen, Swede Hollow, eller bara Dalen. Området var ett slumområde och känt som ett av de fattigaste i hela USA. I slutet av 1880-talet kostade det en och en halv dollar i månaden att få ha ett skjul i dalen, men man kunde vräkas när som helst och saknade helt rättigheter. Difteri och kikhosta härjade i slummen och barnadödligheten var hög. Kvinnorna försörjde sig som hembiträden, sömmerskor och prostituerade medan de män som hade jobb oftast arbetade åt järnvägsbolaget Great Northern. Som mest, 1905, bodde ungefär 1000 personer i (sv)
