Minneapolis, Minn.
A Visitor’s Guide To Our Host City,
St o r y
by
Geoff
Bilau
As IAPMO celebrates 85 years of gathering to further the
association’s mission, educate its diverse membership,
and advance the Uniform Codes for a world that has
changed remarkably since 1930, it seems only fitting
that we meet in a city that owes its existence to water —
namely its proximity to a source that could be harnessed
to power the Industrial Revolution.
Minneapolis, the “City of Lakes,” which is situated on both
banks of the Mississippi River, is even named for the stuff.
As the story goes, the city’s first schoolteacher came up
with the name by combining the Dakota Sioux word for
water, mni, with the Greek word for city, polis — water city.
The “Twin Cities” — Minneapolis, St. Paul and their
surrounding communities — make up the 16th largest
metropolitan area in the United States, with nearly 3.4
million residents calling the area home.

IAPMO’s 85 th Annual Education & Business Conference
History
Incorporated in 1867, the city of Minneapolis began around
50 years earlier with the establishment of the U.S. Army’s
Fort Snelling, which spurred population growth in the
area. Flour millers favored the location for its proximity
to Saint Anthony Falls, the highest waterfall on the
Mississippi River, which powered flour mills and sawmills,
making Minneapolis a popular destination for Great
Plains grain farmers to ship their harvest for processing.
Two of the biggest purveyors of baked goods in the
United States — General Mills and Pillsbury — were
founded as millers of white flour during this period. By
1900, 14.1 percent of the nation’s grain was milled in
Minneapolis. Similarly, steam-powered machinery made
the city’s lumber industry at the turn of the century the
world’s foremost producer of lumber.
When the forests became depleted, Minneapolis suffered
economically, forcing many of the milling companies
to relocate closer to the farming areas due to the
increasing cost of transportation. The city rebounded

Minneapolis, Minnesota
and reinvented itself after WWII, however, becoming a
national leader in the manufacture of everything from
farm machinery to computers and electronic equipment.
Entertainment and Sightseeing
Built into the ruins of what was once the world’s largest
flour mill, Mill City Museum is located on the historic
Mississippi Riverfront. Visitors can learn in person about
the intertwined histories of the flour industry, the river
and the city.
The Walter Art Center is considered one of the United
States’ “big five” museums for modern art, on par with the
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim
in New York. Established as a public art gallery in 1927,
the Walker is includes exhibits featuring visual arts,
performing arts, film/video, design and new media.
Located directly across from the museum is the Minneapolis
Sculpture Garden, an 11 acre park featuring 40 permanent
art installations and numerous temporary pieces.
Built in 1892-93, the Stone Arch Bridge once provided a
vital transportation link between the east and west side
milling districts. The National Historic Civil Engineering
Landmark now features panoramic views of St. Anthony
Falls, the west-side milling district and the Minneapolis
skyline. Segway tours are given out of St. Anthony Main
near Tuggs Tavern.
The Mall of America receives more than 40 million visitors
each year. Located in nearby Bloomington, the mall
features 520 stores, 50 restaurants and numerous other
attractions such as Nickelodeon Universe, the nation’s
largest indoor theme park, and SEA LIFE Minnesota
Aquarium, featuring more than 10,000 aquatic creatures.
And there’s no sales tax on clothing or shoes.
Minneapolis is home to professional sports franchises
in each of the four major U.S. sports — Major League
Baseball (Twins), NFL (Vikings), NBA (Timberwolves), NHL
(Wild) — as well as a minor league soccer team, Minnesota
United, in the North American Soccer League (NASL).
The Twins play their home games at Target Field and

will play host to the Detroit Tigers Sept. 15-17 and the
Cleveland Indians Sept. 19-21. The Vikings will play
their games at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank
Stadium this season and next while construction of a new
stadium takes place on the former site of the Metrodome.
Minnesota United plays its games at the National Sports
Center in nearby Blaine, Minn.
Golf
The Twin Cities area features more than 60 golf courses,
ranging from 18-hole championship to 9-hole executive
courses.
The 2014 Roscoe King Memorial Golf Tournament will be
played on the 6,359-yard Hillcrest Golf Club of St. Paul.
Featuring rolling hills and mature trees, the par-72 course
will challenge and satisfy players of every skill level.

Test Gauge & Backflow Supply, Inc.
Plumbing systems, no matter how simple or how complex, all contain
connections or arrangements that provide a possible cross connection.
A simple hose in a bucket full of chemical lawn fertilizer at someone’s
home has a potential for disaster. A variety of commercial facilities utilize
water for mixing chemicals as well as for production of their products.
Without having a backflow preventer on the domestic water line, workers
of that facility or even people outside that facility could be exposed to
contaminants that may be harmful or fatal if ingested. Test Gauge and
Backflow Supply is a stocking distributor of backflow preventers.
