Minneapolis–Saint Paul is a major metropolitan area built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers in east central Minnesota.

The area is commonly known as the Twin Cities after its two largest cities, Minneapolis, the city with the largest population in the state, and Saint Paul, the state capital.

It is an example of twin cities in the sense of geographical proximity.

Minnesotans living outside of Minneapolis and Saint Paul often refer to the two together (or the seven-county metro area collectively) as The Cities.

Minnesota (locally) is a state in the midwestern and northern regions of the United States.

Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd U.S. state on May 11, 1858, created from the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory.

The state has a large number of lakes, and is known by the slogan "Land of 10,000 Lakes".

Its official motto is L'Étoile du Nord (French: Star of the North).

The Star Tribune is the largest newspaper in the U.S. state of Minnesota.

It originated as the Minneapolis Tribune in 1867 and the competing Minneapolis Daily Star in 1920.

During the 1930s and 1940s Minneapolis's competing newspapers were consolidated, with the Tribune published in the morning and the Star in the evening.

They merged in 1982, creating the Star Tribune.

After a tumultuous period in which the newspaper was sold and re-sold and filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009, it was purchased by local businessman Glen Taylor in 2014.
