Little Canada

Little Canada Main Photo

Little Canada is located just north of downtown Saint Paul and only minutes from the Minnesota State Capitol. As a city, residents are very proud of their history and received their name from French Canadians who settled there many years ago. As a result, the city works hard to maintain their French Canadian heritage. Along with a variety of businesses and events, you will find beautiful parks and nature centers in Little Canada.
