I'm assuming you mean Stillwater, MN.  This old MN City on the
Saint Croix was also the terminus of one of three branch lines off
the main Northern Pacific line from the Twin Cities to the Twin  Ports.
It ran from near Forest Lake, MN to Stillwater.  Parts of this are  still
open, and there has been in the past one of those dinner passenger  trains
running the distance.
 
There were two other such branches off the NP mainline.  Another ran  from
Wyoming, MN to Taylors Falls, MN and the third from Rush City, MN to
my hometown, Grantsburg, WI.
 
Stillwater, MN (or at least its suburbs) is most known now for the  home
of Andersen Windows.
