Much of Willernie's magic lies in its proximity to White Bear Lake, which is a comparatively large lake in Minnesota with a longstanding reputation as a beautiful destination. The area was a major getaway for many people, as well as many prominent people, throughout the 19th and 20th century.
The lake, in combination with the railroad, drew many travelers. From 1889 to 1932, the city was grounds for Wildwood Amusement Park – hence the unique size and platting of Willernie. Once called the “Coney Island of St. Paul,” the park drew large crowds with attractions such as diving ponies, orchestral concerts and a penny arcade.
