Maplewood, Residential city in Ramsey County, Minnesota
Maplewood is a residential city along the northern and eastern borders of Saint Paul, stretching across residential neighborhoods and green spaces. The cityscape features a mix of single-family homes and parks that define its character throughout the area.
The land transformed from prairie and oak savanna into an incorporated village in 1957, then became a city in 1982. This shift from rural territory to suburb reflects the expanding settlement of the Saint Paul area.
The community brings residents together through regular events at local libraries, parks, and civic centers throughout the year. These gathering spaces shape daily life and create opportunities for neighbors to connect.
The city provides easy access to shopping centers, hospital facilities, and major employment centers that draw visitors and workers. Proximity to downtown Saint Paul makes it convenient to explore the surrounding region.
Despite its name suggesting a forest of maple trees, the city actually contains no maple trees according to local historical records. This fact surprises visitors who expect to find the trees the name implies.
