Yes, Saint Paul , in east-central Minnesota along the banks of the Mississippi River , has been Minnesota 's capital city since 1849 , first as capital of the Territory of Minnesota , and then as the state capital since 1858 . 
 Can you tell me about Minnesota? 
 I did not know that. Can you tell me about education in Minnesota? 
 Seems like a good place to get an education. Is there anything else you can tell me about it? 
 This was some very good information. Thank You!
