History
Timber was the city's first boom industry, and water-powered sawmills rose along the
Mississippi River in the mid-1800s. Wheat from the prairies also needed to be processed,
so flour mills churned into the next big business. The population boomed in the late 19th
century with mass immigration, especially from Scandinavia and Germany. Today Min-
neapolis' Nordic heritage is evident, whereas twin city St Paul is more German and Irish-
Catholic.
