Maplewood, Minnesota
Maplewood is a city in Ramsey County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 42,088 at the 2020 census. Maplewood is ten minutes' drive from downtown Saint Paul. It stretches along the northern and eastern borders of Saint Paul.
Maplewood is home to the corporate headquarters and main campus of 3M Corporation. The city is also home to the Maplewood Mall and St. John's Hospital.
Before European Settlement in the 1840s, multiple indigenous peoples inhabited the area around Maplewood. The area was inhabited during the Woodland period, with Dakota tribes settling in the area in the 18th century.
The Maplewood area began being settled by Europeans in the 1850s. A stagecoach line operated from Saint Paul to Duluth from 1856 to 1870, stopping in the area.This ceased operation with the linkage of the construction of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad in 1870.
In 1858, upon Minnesota's statehood, the area was organized under the McLean and New Canada Townships. The area town site of Gladstone was platted in 1887, but after a boom in the 1890s, quickly declined. During this period, Saint Paul began to annex land in the area, the primary reason for the city's 'L' shape.
In 1955, the 3M corporation completed the first buildings of its central research laboratory in the area. Rumors of annexation by Saint Paul lead to the area incorporating in 1957, by a vote of 5 to 1. This also allowed 3M to operate on the village tax base, rather than the one of St. Paul. Maplewood had a population of 14,200 when it was incorporated.
From the 1950s onwards, Maplewood transitioned from rural farmsteads to suburban neighborhoods. The 125 acre Maplewood mall opened in 1974, and St John's Maplewood Hospital in 1985.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 17.99 square miles (46.59 km2), of which 16.98 square miles (43.98 km2) is land and 1.01 square miles (2.62 km2) is water.
