about Saint Paul

Saint Paul is the capital and second-largest city of the state of Minnesota in the United States of America. It is the county seat of Ramsey County. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 287,151. Saint Paul and the adjacent city of Minneapolis form the core of the area known as the Twin Cities. The city is located just south of 45 degrees north latitude (the suburb of Roseville has a marker near an obscure intersection identifying the exact location of the 45th parallel). The city's current mayor is Randy Kelly.

Saint Paul sights

Areas of interest include the Science Museum of Minnesota, the Minnesota State Capitol building, and the city's Civic Center, the RiverCentre. It is also home to the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Saint Paul Saints minor league baseball team, and the Minnesota Wild National Hockey League team, which plays at the local Xcel Energy Center.

Nearby attractions include the Mississippi River which forms the southwest and southern border of Saint Paul, the Mall of America in Bloomington, and the Minnesota State Fair's grounds. The fair is open during the two weeks prior to and including Labor Day. It takes place in northern Saint Paul next to the suburb of Falcon Heights, and just north of what is called the Midway, appropriately defining the midway point between downtown districts of the Twin Cities. Immediately west of the state fairgrounds is the "Saint Paul Campus" of the University of Minnesota. The Cathedral of Saint Paul is home to the Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and numerous other religious organizations exist in the metropolitan area. Bordering the southwest edge of Saint Paul and the southeastern tip of Minneapolis is the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. Also notable is the Fort Snelling National Historic Site, which lies on the bluff above the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers. Just below the bluff is Fort Snelling State Par, which incorporates Pike Island named for the explorer Zebulon Pike.

Saint Paul is the birthplace of renowned author, F Scott Fitzgerald, as well as cartoonist Charles M. Schulz (Peanuts).

Major corporations headquartered in the Saint Paul area include 3M, source of products such as Scotch-Tape™, Thinsulate™ and Post-It™ notes; Saint Paul Travelers, a major insurance firm; and Lawson Software, a business software and support company.
