MINNEAPOLIS
INFORMATION |
 |
Minneapolis is in the southeast portion
of Minnesota and sits along the Mississippi River. There are also 24
small lakes in the city. The abundance of lakes led Charles Hoag, an
early settler and Minneapolis's first schoolmaster, to suggest a
name derived from minne, the Dakota word for water, and
polis, the Greek word for city. The city is also known as the
"City of Lakes", a phrase that appears on many municipal vehicles
and properties. People living in Minneapolis are called
Minneapolitans. Minneapolis's economy has been historically based on
the adjoining agricultural area, though that has changed in recent
decades. The city is ranked first among U.S. cities in
transportation solutions and fourth in energy technology.
