West St. Paul, MN is right next to St. Paul. The name might not make a lot of sense geographically, but West St. Paul has gotten a lot of other things right. As the story goes, West St. Paul used to extend from an area now known as the “lower west side” of St. Paul on the Ramsey County side of the Mississippi to what is now West St. Paul in Dakota County. St. Paul annexed the part of the city in Dakota County in the late 1880s, and the current city was incorporated in 1889.
