About St. Cloud, Minnesota

St. Cloud is located in central Minnesota and is the third largest metropolitan area in the state. Incorporated in 1856 from three settlements known to the locals as Lower Town, Middle Town, and Upper Town, St. Cloud quickly became known as “The Granite City” because of the enormous amounts of granite mined from the city’s granite quarries each year. More recently, St. Cloud’s drive to attract additional manufacturing and service-related businesses, as well as its strategic business development planning, has transformed it into a burgeoning Minnesota city.

St. Cloud’s concern for the development and economic success of its businesses is equal to its concern for its residents.

With several higher education institutions located in the city, as well as top-ranked high schools, St. Cloud works to provide students with a community in which they can learn and one in which they will want to live and be a part of helping the city continue to flourish.
