Namesake of a Neighborhood

Cutter’s Grove, Thompson Riverview Terrace, Morningside addition – each neighborhood gets a name when it is first platted. Sometimes these names have a hidden history. Anoka’s Dunham Oaks neighborhood lies just north of the County Fair Grounds. The neighborhood came together because of one teacher and principal at Washington Elementary: Marion Dunham.
