Though St Paul and Minneapolis have grown up on opposite banks of the Mississippi River, they are quite different cities. The people of St. Paul are of many nationalities, largely German, Irish, Polish and Italian. The name combined "minne," an Indian word for water, with "polis," the Greek word for city. After the Civil War, Minneapolis became the larger of the cities with more industry, due most likely to the waterpower of St. Anthony Falls. It became a center for flour milling. St. Paul became an early steamboat terminus with the fur trade of the area as well as travelers and shipping of agricultural goods.
Also known as "Minneapple", as in The Mini Apple (vs. The Big Apple), noting Minneapolis' love of the arts and entertainment and our little known cosmopolitan nature.
