Twin Cities ~ Minneapolis and Saint Paul
Incorporated as a city in 1867, Minneapolis is named for the Dakota word Minne (meaning of the
waters) and the Greek word polis (meaning city); fitting for a town that contains 22 lakes.
Today, Minneapolis and its twin city, St. Paul, have over 3 million residents. Together they make up
the 14th largest metropolitan area in the country.

The Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis are a unique blend of
small town and major cosmopolitan hub. Both urban cores boast a
thriving business atmosphere. Saint Paul, as the state capital, is home
to state government and has a more historical vibe. Minneapolis is the
larger and more commercial of the two cities. Outside of the central
downtowns, however, both cities have many distinct neighborhoods,
and residents identify more with their individual neighborhood than
with the larger city as a whole.

Both cities share a common root of being river towns - and the
great outdoors are still a major attraction for residents and visitors
alike. In addition to the mighty Mississippi River, there are more
than 100 lakes (more than 900 when including the suburbs), more
than 250 parks, and miles of biking and walking trails.

Nearly every weekend in the summer there are several outdoor active events for participants and
spectatorstriathlons, biking races, running races, boat races, water skiing competitions, golf
tournaments, and more. Neighborhood events and family events round out a full schedule of
opportunities.

Twin Cities ~ Minneapolis and Saint Paul
The active lifestyle of Twin Cities residents doesn't lie dormant during the winter either. There are
miles of cross-country skiing trails, several downhill ski areas within an hours drive, ice skating,
snowmobile riding, sledding, andof courseice fishing.

For those who prefer activity of the spectator variety, the Twin Cities is home to several major sports
teams: Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Wild, Minnesota Timberwolves, Minnesota
Lynx and Minnesota United FC (soccer).

There is also a minor league baseball team, the Saint Paul Saints. The areas have hosted the World
Series, Super Bowl, NCAA Basketball Finals, the USGA U. S. Open, PGA Championships and the
Special Olympics. In 2014, Target Field was the setting for baseball's All- star Game. In 2018, the
Super Bowl will be played in a newly built state-of-the-art stadium.

But the Twin Cities have more to offer than participatory and spectator sporting events. There are
countless arts and culture offerings here. The Grammy Award-winning Minnesota Orchestra has a
reputation as one of the top orchestras in the world. The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra is regarded
as one of the finest chamber orchestras in the world.

Since the early 1960s, the Guthrie Theatre has staged A-plus shows from the classical to the
contemporary. Popular national shows and performers also tour through the Twin Cities year round
at stages in both Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and at the University. There are over 30 theatre venues,
10 dance companies, and 30 classical music groups in the cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis alone.

For the museum-goer, there are more than 60 museums in the Twin Cities. The Science Museum of
Minnesota and the Minnesota Children's Museum (both in Saint Paul) are highly interactive learning
and fun experiences for the entire family. The Minnesota History Center is an interactive museum for
all ages with permanent and changing exhibits, lectures and events.

The Minneapolis Institute of Arts has a collection of more than 100,000 pieces. The Walker Art
Center has been called possibly the best contemporary art museum in the U. S. by Newsweek,
and has over 11,000 pieces. The University of Minnesota's Weisman Art Museum is also a
contemporary art destination.

Beyond the outdoor, sports, entertainment, and culture, perhaps the biggest attraction for the
Twin Cities is the lifestyle. Forbes hailed Saint Paul and Minneapolis as the nation's healthiest cities.
USA Today named Saint Paul as North America's Most Romantic City. The Twin Cities offer
award-winning restaurants (several chefs have been regional James Beard Award winners). In
addition to the popular Mall of America, there are plenty of unique shopping districts in both cities
and in the suburbs.
