Minneapolis is Minnesota's most populous city with 429,954 residents as of 2020, located in Hennepin County at the center of the state near the Upper Mississippi River and adjacent to the state capital Saint Paul, forming the Twin Cities metropolitan area with 3.69 million people. Nicknamed the "City of Lakes" for its thirteen lakes and abundant waterways including the Mississippi River, Minneapolis was originally inhabited by the Dakota people and later developed as a European settlement around Saint Anthony Falls, the only natural waterfall on the Mississippi River. In the 19th century, Minneapolis became the world's lumber and flour milling capital, and today hosts the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and is the birthplace of major corporations including General Mills, Pillsbury, Target Corporation, and Thermo King. The city features prominent cultural institutions including the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Walker Art Center, and Guthrie Theater, along with four professional sports teams, the University of Minnesota's main campus, and musician Prince's iconic First Avenue nightclub. Governed by a mayor-council system under Mayor Jacob Frey since 2018 and dominated by the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Minneapolis is served by Metro Transit and the international airport at its southern border. Osseo is a small city in northeastern Hennepin County, Minnesota, with a 2020 population of 2,688 and an area of 0.69 square miles. The name derives from the Ojibwe word "Waaseyaa" meaning "Son of the Evening Star," famously used by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his poem "The Song of Hiawatha." Originally settled on Bottineau Prairie before incorporating as a village on March 17, 1875, Osseo developed as a multicultural community of French Canadians, New Englanders, Swiss, and Germans who established blacksmith shops, hotels, and other pioneer businesses. The city's economy peaked in 1928 when it operated one of the Northwest's largest potato markets, and its infrastructure grew with the 1882 arrival of the Great Northern Railroad, followed by the establishment of water and fire systems in 1915. The Osseo Water Tower, constructed in 1915, was recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017, marking the city's commitment to preserving its heritage. Cambridge is the county seat of Isanti County, Minnesota, located at the junction of State Highways 65 and 95 along the Rum River and BNSF's Hinckley Subdivision. With a population of 9,611 at the 2020 census, the city has the highest percentage of Swedish Americans of any U.S. city with over 5,000 residents. Founded in the late 19th century by New England settlers along the Minneapolis-to-Duluth railroad and incorporated in 1877, Cambridge developed early 20th-century industries including a potato starch factory, flour mill, and wool mill before its passenger train station ceased operations in 1985. The city's economy and heritage reflect the waves of immigration that shaped it, from New England Puritans to Swedish and German settlers, while the Rum River remains a popular destination for camping, canoeing, and fishing. Cambridge's warm-summer humid continental climate features long, cold winters averaging 41.2 inches of snow and warm summers that bring significant precipitation, particularly in June.
