Fact text

  • Minneapolis is the birthplace of General Mills, Pillsbury, and Target, so breakfast, baking, and bargain shopping all trace back to one city.
  • Saint Anthony Falls is the only natural waterfall on the entire Mississippi River, and Minneapolis literally grew up around it.
  • During the 1800s, Minneapolis was simultaneously the flour milling AND lumber milling capital of the entire world, a two-fer no other city could claim.
  • The city's name is a mashup of the Dakota word for water ('mni') and the Greek word for city ('polis'), a genuinely creative hybrid.
  • Musician Prince was a regular at the First Avenue nightclub, making that downtown venue one of rock royalty's favorite stomping grounds.
