Minneapolis, Minnesota, borders the state capital of St. Paul. Both cities share many political, educational, and cultural institutions, which is why they’re nicknamed “Twin Cities.” Yet, Minneapolis has its own unique features: It’s the state’s largest city, and is home to 13 lakes, wetlands, creeks, waterfalls, and the Mississippi River. Founded in 1867, Minneapolis lies on a relatively level plain across 57.5 square miles. Its median age is 32.3 (2022). Trade, transportation, utilities, education, health services, professional and business services are its main economic drivers.
