About St. Paul

St. Paul FBOSt Paul is the second-most populous city of Minnesota.  The city lies mostly on the north bank of the Mississippi River, downstream of the river's confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Minneapolis, the state's largest city. Known as the "Twin Cities" or just the “Cities”, they form the core of the 13th largest metropolitan area in the United States, with about 3.5 million residents.  Saint Paul contains important institutions and the state's political center. The city is home to the Xcel Energy Center, Minnesota Wild and the Science Museum of Minnesota.  As a business hub of the Upper Midwest, it is headquarters for companies including Ecolab and Lawson Software. 

St. Paul FBOSteamboats docked in 1858, likely at Lambert's Landing.
In 1857 Minnesota was admitted to the union as the thirty-second state with Saint Paul as the capital.  That year, more than 1,000 steamboats were in service at Saint Paul, making the city a gateway for settlers to the Minnesota frontier or Dakota Territory. Natural geography was a primary reason the city became a landing. The area was the last accessible point to unload boats coming upriver due to the Mississippi River valley's stone bluffs. During this period, Saint Paul was called "The Last City of the East."  James Hill constructed and expanded his network of railways into the Great Northern Railway and Northern Pacific Railway, which were headquartered in Saint Paul. Today they are the BNSF Railway.

Culture

St. Paul FBO

Como Park, Zoo and Conservatory is a free public greenhouse and urban zoo open year round.
In winter months, Saint Paul is active with the Saint Paul Winter Carnival, a tradition originating from 1886 when a New York reporter called Saint Paul "another Siberia." Attended by 350,000 visitors annually, the event showcases ice sculpture, an annual treasure hunt, winter food, activities, and an ice palace.  Year round the conservatory and adjoining zoo and Japanese Garden are very popular. The historic Landmark Center located in downtown Saint Paul hosts cultural and arts organizations. The city's notable recreation locations include Indian Mounds, Battle Creek Regional Park, Harriet Island Regional Park, Highland Park, the Wabash Street Caves, Lake Como, Lake Phalen, and Rice Park, as well as several areas abutting the Mississippi River.

Saint Paul is the birthplace of cartoonist Charles Schulz (Peanuts) who lived in Merriam Park from infancy until early 1960.  Schulz' Snoopy cartoon inspired decorated giant Peanuts sculptures around the city.
