Locations Details
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.
