Description

Las cataratas [de] San Antonio ?, son unas cataratas de Estados Unidos localizadas al noreste de la ciudad de Minneapolis, Minnesota, en el río Misisipí, siendo la única gran catarata natural existente en el Alto Misisipi. Las cataratas naturales fueron sustituidas por un aliviadero de hormigón después de que se colapsasen parcialmente en 1869. Más tarde, en los años 1950 y 1960, se construyeron una serie de esclusas y presas para posibilitar la navegación hasta los tramos del río situados aguas arriba,[2]​ lo que contribuyó a desfigurar su naturalidad y fisonomía.

Nombradas en honor del santo católico Antonio de Padua, las cataratas son la cuna de las antiguas ciudades de St. Anthony y de Minneapolis, cuando las dos ciudades se unieron en 1872 para hacer pleno uso de su poder económico para las operaciones de molido. Desde 1880 a 1930, Minneapolis fue la «capital mundial del molido» .[3]​
