Edward Phelan, also Phalen or Felyn, was an early settler of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Phelan was born in approximately 1811 in Derry, Ireland and later became, along with John Hays and William Evans, one of the first settlers of Saint Paul. Phelan was later accused of Hays' murder, the first ever in Saint Paul, but was acquitted. He was indicted for perjury a year later but fled to California before he could be prosecuted. Phelan was killed by his companions in what they describe as self-defense before he could reach California. Many locations in Saint Paul, Minnesota are named after Phelan as a result of his early land claims. Phelan's name was spelled variously and as a result most locations are named Phalen and not Phelan
Savage Lake was a lake in Ramsey County, in the U.S. state of Minnesota. Currently, it is designated a "watershed," thanks to damage done to the lake when I35E intersected the lake in the 1970s. Ramsey county's website says, "Because it is divided by the highway, the eastern and western basins of the lake are connected by a pipe that flows from the west basin into the southwest corner of the eastern basin. Although called a lake, Savage Lake is actually a 27-acre wetland. West Savage Lake is 17.4 acres with a maximum depth of 5.9 feet; East Savage Lake is 9.6 acres with a maximum depth of 5.7 feet." Before the state's Department of Transportation decided to dump the silt and road refuse from an I35E expansion in 2009, the lake was deeper and spring-fed. Within a few weeks of the opening of the freeway drainage design, the spring was clogged with silt and the lake began to fill.
