Twin Cities Communities
Minneapolis and St Paul are known as the Twin Cities for their geographic proximity. In 1854, Minnesota’s capital Saint Paul was incorporated as a city on the east banks of the Mississippi River. In 1867, Minneapolis followed suit on the west banks of the Mississippi. Before there were highways and cars, the main modes of transportation between the two cities were via horse and the snaking Mississippi river. The river was crucial to the growth and development of the two cities as it provided industry, labor and shipping from the mid-19th century to present day.
Although the two downtown cities are only 13 miles apart, in the late 19th Century they were different worlds in terms of development, politics and growth rate. Today, however, there is a much closer sense of community and connectedness between Minneapolis and St Paul, although still a healthy rivalry as to which is “best”. The Minneapolis-St Paul metro is surrounded by Interstate 494 and a network of highways and freeways that zip north, south, east and west, allowing easy access to the surrounding cities and suburbs of the Twin Cities metro.
