Saint Francis

Built around the Rum River corridor, St. Francis grew into a small northern community of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The city lies in Anoka County, where the Rum River’s wooded banks and lowland corridors contrast with residential streets and open land in a developing outer suburb. The river is a Minnesota Wild and Scenic River and joins the Mississippi River downstream at Anoka, placing St. Francis within an important central Minnesota watershed. Local identity centres on schools, parks and community events rather than the dense urban fabric of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
