George Dover was an English immigrant of Jewish decent. He started the Robbinsdale Cab company in the early 1920’s. The business was a family affair. After George retired his son, David took over and built a cab stand on 41st Avenue . A couple years later, David became a flight instructor at the Robbinsdale Airport.
Here’s a Robbinsdale Cab all dressed up for the 4th of July at the Stillman farm. The old house built by Horatio Stillman, stood near the corner of Welcome and 42nd for over 50 years. Stillman arrived in Robbinsdale as a homesteader in 1854. Before his death in 1920 Stillman served as Township Supervisor and Justice of the Peace. Faith Lilac Way Church was built after the house was town down in 1949.
