"St. Paul is a city in St. Charles County, Missouri, United States. The population was 1,829 at the 2010 census.

"St. Paul is a small town in northern St. Charles County and consists its namesake Catholic church, the church picnic grounds, school, several ballfields associated with the church and school, as well as a Knights of Columbus hall. It no longer has the part-time Post Office, the accounting office, real-estate office, and city office in one small building remain however. There is a volunteer fire station for the O'Fallon Fire Protection District. There is also an auto repair shop and the semi-famous Dog Prairie tavern. Local lore states that St. Paul was once named Dog Prairie.

"St. Paul neighbors O'Fallon to the southeast, Old Monroe to the northeast, and Josephville, Flint Hill, and Wentzville to the west. St. Paul is above the Mississippi River floodplain and consists of rolling hills that are mainly formed by various water features. It has a mix of residential and agricultural land.

St. Paul Minnesota
"Saint Paul is the capital and second-most populous city of the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of 2015, the city's estimated population was 300,851. Saint Paul is the county seat of Ramsey County, the smallest and most densely populated county in Minnesota. The city lies mostly on the east bank of the Mississippi River in the area surrounding its point of confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Minneapolis, the state's largest city. Known as the "Twin Cities", the two form the core of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, the 16th-largest metropolitan area in the United States, with about 3.52 million residents.

"Founded near historic Native American settlements as a trading and transportation center, the city rose to prominence when it was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory in 1849. Though Minneapolis is better-known nationally, Saint Paul contains the state government and other important institutions. Regionally, the city is known for the Xcel Energy Center, home of the Minnesota Wild, and for the Science Museum of Minnesota. As a business hub of the Upper Midwest, it is the headquarters of companies such as Ecolab. Saint Paul, along with its Twin City, Minneapolis, is known for its high literacy rate. It was the only city in the United States with a population of 250,000 or more to see an increase in circulation of Sunday newspapers in 2007.

"The settlement originally began at present-day Lambert's Landing, but was known as Pig's Eye after Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant established a popular tavern there. When Lucien Galtier, the first Catholic pastor of the region, established the Log Chapel of Saint Paul (shortly thereafter to become the first location of the Cathedral of Saint Paul), he made it known that the settlement was now to be called by that name, as "Saint Paul as applied to a town or city was well appropriated, this monosyllable is short, sounds good, it is understood by all Christian denominations" ~ Wikipedia
