About West St. Paul
West St. Paul (~20,600 in 2020) is a dense inner-ring suburb immediately south of St. Paul — its confusing name comes from sitting on the west bank of the Mississippi, not from being west of South St. Paul (per Wikipedia, read September 24, 2026). Motto: "We're Close To It All." Housing is mostly 1940s–60s ramblers and bungalows with some townhome infill; the city is known for its 2.5-mile retail strip along Robert Street (named for riverboat captain Louis Robert).
