An interesting thing about Minneapolis and Saint Paul is that they aren't so much on opposite sides of the Mississippi but 10 miles upstream/downstream of each other, the cores of both cities have old neighborhoods on both sides of the river. Saint Paul exists where it is because it's the last decent place to unload tons and tons of goods from a boat without having to haul them up a cliff. Minneapolis was founded around the hydro power available from Saint Anthony Falls, the biggest natural waterfall on the Mississippi river.

Thought that maybe Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, WA would be on this list. Portland is much bigger than Vancouver (650,000 vs 200,000), but they are only separated by the Stateline and the Columbia River.

Itās important to note that the northeast part of Minneapolis used to be a separate city called St Anthony and the two former twin cities merged in 1872.

I grew up in St. Paul, but have lived in South Minneapolis for the last 30 years. You gave the most concise, succinct description of the Twin Cities I have ever heard. Like all fraternal twins, we strive to accentuate our differences but, in reality, could not exist without each other.

Technically, Maine's twin cities, Lewiston & Auburn are basically one city now. Auburn was incorporated about 20 years before Lewiston. They are separated by the Androscoggin River.

Marinette, Wisconsin & Menominee, Michigan.
Two smaller towns connected by a coupla bridges over the border waters of Menominee River (one of the most threatened rivers in the country where people get their drinking water out of).
Lived on the Wi side for a while as a kid.
Always thought it was weird that the Menominee side had traffic signals dangling from wires across the roads. Especially since the area gets a fair amount of tornados/storms. Apparently the type of signals are set at the state level

You can easily make another part to this. Some other twin cities you can include are: Ontario OR and and Payette ID, Huntington WV and Ashland KY, Weirton WV and Steubenville OH, Fargo ND and Moorhead MN, Wahpeton ND and Breckenridge MN, Spokane WA and Coeur d'Alene ID, Duluth MN and Superior WI, and many more!

It would be interesting to see this with annexed cities or throughout history as well that still are relatively unique. New York City and Brooklyn used to be independent cities and top 2 or 3 sized by population at the same time.
The only inverse I can think of is D.C. and Alexandria/Arlington, which used to be one city and are now multiple due to the retrocession back prior to the Civil War.

I grew up in the Tri Cities in Eastern Washington, separated from each other by the Columbia River and the Yakima River. No major University, but about 150,000 population. Home of one of the top races in the Unlimited Hydroplane Circuit.

There's also Bloomington-Normal and Champaign-Urbana in Illinois

Champaign and Urbana, Illinois - jointly home to the sprawling U. of Illinois - are referred to as Twin City, not quite a copy of the Minneapolis-St. Paul nickname.
The university buildings center on a section straddling the boundaries of the cities. Since Champaign is larger and more of the contemporary campus buildings are in it, the university is commonly placed in Champaign. The quad, the original heart of campus, lies in Urbana, so officially the college is named the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Thereās no indication of crossing the municipal boundary as one walks around campus or nearby neighborhoods. A nickname for the metro area is Chambana. I think a cooler one would be Urbaign.

There's also Champaign and Urbana, Illinois. The university of Illinois campus is shared between both cities, and being such a large university, it gives champaign-urbana a large population, Champaign having 88k people and Urbana having 38k

Kyle, I'm glad you mentioned Grand Forks and EGF. I find it a bit interesting that the border cities run from South Dakota to Canada. You also have Wahpeton Breckenridge, Fargo Moorhead, amd even Drayton and Pembina have tiny counterparts on the Minnesota side. Great job pointing out the 97 flood ik Grand Forks.

Texarkana was "supposed" to be on the LA border too; the ana represented Louisiana, but the surveyors were off just over 30 miles. Some call it quad state area since Oklahoma is close by also, though of course not as close as the four corners.

YOOOO THANK YOU FOR THE CCR REFERENCEš been saying that forever

Thank you for addressing the inaccuracy in āCotton Fieldsā! Had there been a map we could have ended up with ājust about 35 miles from Texarkanaā

What-what-what?!?! I stumble across the latest GK upload and I am THE FIRST MINNESOTAN ON THE SCENE?!?! Life is good. I am going to sip my tequila on my balcony here in Bloomington, MN and enjoy this video.

Back in the early 1900s there was an intense rivalry between the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. There was joke going around to the effect that if the two cities merged, the combined entity ought to be named Minnehaha ā Minne for Minneapolis and Haha for St. Paul. You can guess which side of the county line (Hennepin vs. Ramsey) that joke came from.

Fargo/Moorhead is another Twin City along the ND/MN border. Just like Grand Forks/East Grand Forks... the ND town has the bigger population.

Superior, WI and Duluth, MN are in that same kind of category. Both are decent areas that have similar characteristics. And both are separated by the southwestern tip of Lake Superior
