Located in Ramsey County, North St. Paul’s community is one of the oldest, with the city’s official establishment dating back to 1887.

Several community events occur within North St. Paul throughout the year. These events are designed to both preserve the city’s rich history and strengthen the community. One of the community’s favorite events is the History Cruze Car Show, which is held near the intersection of Margaret and 7th Avenue.
