Trivia: What are the United States’ “Twin Cities”?
Raleigh & Durham, North Carolina
Orlando & Tampa, Florida
St. Paul & Minneapolis, Minnesota
Dallas & Fort Worth, Texas
The correct answer is St. Paul & Minneapolis, Minnesota
So why is this answer correct? : First coined in the 1840s, the “Twin Cities” nickname refers to Minnesota’s two largest cities, which straddle the Mississippi River. Minneapolis is the state’s most populous city, while St. Paul is the state capital. The two cities share many of the same political, educational, and cultural institutions — hence their shared nickname.
