The tiny villages like pig's eye and Lambert's Landing were refurbished and flourished into a great city of Saint Paul. The history of Saint Paul focuses on the harbor, which opened the city to river trade and aided to its establishment.

A convenient place for unloading upriver commercial boats, Lambert's Landing is the reason the neighborhood developed and prospered. Even the stones lined on either side of the Mississippi River valley play a part. Because of these attributes, St. Paul has grown to gain a reputation as a center for trade and transportation

St. Paul became the capital of the recently established Minnesota Territory in 1849 and was declared capital of the state after Minnesota was entered the union in 1858. It forms the twin cities with Minneapolis, but the city is the state's capital and laid out spaciously with a feel of an old frontier town. The town is filled with history, culture, and diversity and has many attractions for tourists to visit.

The cathedral can hold 3,000 visitors, and frequently holds recitals. The Shrine of Nations around the sanctuary, symbolizing the immigrants' contributions to the cathedral, is of particular importance.
