Winona, Minnesota

Winona is a city in and the county seat of Winona County, Minnesota, United States. Located in bluff country on the Mississippi River, its most noticeable physical landmark is Sugar Loaf. The population was 25,948 at the 2020 census.

History
The site was of the village of Keoxa of Dakota people. The city is named after Winona, a figure in a Sioux legend.

European immigrants settled the area in 1851 and laid out the town into lots in 1852 and 1853. The original settlers were immigrants from New England. The population increased from 815 in December, 1855, to 3,000 in December, 1856. In 1856 German immigrants arrived as well. The Germans and the Yankees worked together planting trees and building businesses based on lumber, wheat, steamboating and railroads. Between 1859 and 1900, some 5,000 Poles and closely related Kashubians emigrated to Winona, making up one quarter of the population. Since 80% of them were Kashubians, Winona became known as the "Kashubian Capital of America". As a result of the influx of Polish Catholic immigrants, the Church of St. Stanislaus (now Basilica of St. Stanislaus Kostka) was built. For a time, Winona had more millionaires than any other city of its size in the United States.

The railroad and steamboat transportation industries helped Winona grow into a small city that diversified into wheat milling, and lumber production. In 1856, more than 1,300 steamboats stopped at Winona. The Winona and St. Peter Railroad first segment of 11 mi from Winona to Stockton, Minnesota was completed by the end of 1862. Winona then had the second operational railroad in Minnesota, after the St. Paul and Pacific Line from Saint Paul to St. Anthony Falls. In December 1870, the Mississippi River was bridged at Winona by the Winona Rail Bridge. In 1892, a wagon toll-bridge over the Mississippi, a steel high-bridge, was completed and remained in service until the opening of the Main Channel Bridge in 1942.

Winona has two historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places that combine into a single local historic district administered by the city's Heritage Preservation Commission.

A bandshell was completed in 1924 for outdoor musical performances and events. The Winona Municipal Band holds concerts there during the summer.

Untitled
The formula I've given here for working out cent values is correct, but I'm sure there must be a nicer way of displaying it - can anybody make it look pretty? --Camembert —Preceding undated comment added 18:52, 21 October 2002

 * sadly, not yet. There has been a sugestion on the mailing list to implement nicer formulae. I keep meaning to being itup again, but seeeing as we an't even agree ona simple change of URL... -- Tarquin 19:09 Oct 21, 2002 (UTC)

I'm not a mathematician, but I have my suspicions that the formula I added for musical cents, ie:

1200 log(a/b) n = - log(2)

Is equivalent to n = 1200 log2(a/b). Am I right, and if I am, would it be better to change the formula to read that, or leave it as it is so that people can do the sums on their pocket calculators without having to know how to change bases? --Camembert —Preceding undated comment added 02:44, 30 October 2002

 * Yes, it's right (Logarithmic Identities). Put both formulae in. :-) -- Tarquin —Preceding undated comment added 11:18, 30 October 2002

 * Hi, "Cent" was used as a subdivision of the Prussian Pound :

100 pounds = 1 Centner or 30 Lots.

1 Lot = 30 Quentchen;

1 QUentchen = 10 Cent

1 Cent = 10 Korn

isn't the specification of "Percent" as "1 in 100" a bit too ... specific?

"Percent: quantity expressed as a fraction of hundred", (maybe "ratio of hundred" is more correct)?
