Minneapolis
St. Paul's neighbor
Minneapolis is the largest city in Minnesota, situated on the Mississippi River across from its twin city, St.
Paul.
The two form the core of a major metropolitan area in the upper Midwest.
Minneapolis is known for its lakes, cold winters, and corporate headquarters: I'm flying into Minneapolis for the conference.
The name combines the Dakota word for water with the Greek word for city.
