Originally called Gakaabikaang by the Ojibwe, the area that is now Minneapolis developed at the head of the Mississippi and the Saint Anthony Falls (the only waterfall on the entire length of the Mississippi). Father Louis Hennepin came to the area in 1680 and named it Falls of St. Anthony. Soon, other settlers arrived and St. Anthony began to grow. The name Minneapolis comes from a combination of the Dakota word minne for water and the Greek word polis for city. By the 1950s and into the early 1960s, Minneapolis began an urban renewal project that included rebuilding almost 40% of the city. The new millinium brought renewed city cleanup projects and stability to Minneapolis. Environmental and health initiatives drew national attention. Emphasis on cultural arts and education added more praise for the quality of life in Minneapolis. Paired with twin city St. Paul across the Mississippi River, Minneapolis/St. Paul is the 15th largest city-combo in the country. Accolades are plentiful. Travel & Leisure magazine recently named Minneapolis as one of five up-and-coming travel destinations and Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine named Minneapolis to its “7 Cool Cities” list.
