Nicollet Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicollet Island is an island in the Mississippi River just north of downtown Minneapolis. DeLaSalle High School and the Nicollet Island Inn are located there, as well as three residential buildings and twenty-two restored Victorian-era houses located on the north end of the island.
The Hennepin Avenue Bridge crosses the Mississippi here connecting Northeast Minneapolis to downtown.
The south end of the island is home to the Nicollet Island Pavillion and the Bell of Two Friends, a gift from the city of Ibaraki, Osaka Japan.
According to the United States Census Bureau the island has a land area of 194,407 square meters (0.075 square mile or 48.04 acres) and a 2000 census population of 144 persons.
