The story so far

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 41 to 43 (+5%). Half of its homes were built before 1978.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of St. Cloud yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in St. Cloud is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean St. Cloud has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Shamrock Court in Sullivan, 2.8 miles away.
