It comes from the fact that the majority of the states population lives in the Twin Cities. I consider anything south of Owatonna as southern MN and anything north of St. Cloud as northern MN. Not accurate but when you live in the metro it seems to make sense. Its kind of the same way with east and west. When I lived in Breckenridge I felt I lived in northern MN. I was north of South Dakota after all.

I've always figured I lived right on the edge of west central MN (Todd County)

90% of NY is considered Upstate. Figure out the math on that one.

They used to say that the center of the state was 9 miles south of Brainerd. I agree with your post and get upset with metro weatherman who call anything north of the cities as northern Mn and then give a vague forecast for the whole area. Doesn’t matter anymore, as I no longer watch tv for the most part.

I always say I am from West Central MN, our conference is the West Central. I do hear people say Alexandria and BAttle Lake are northern Mn! Also, we call Brainerd area (Outing MN--our family cabin) up north? Often confuses people...no doubt!

I have always wondered where eastern Minnesota is? Do metro people say it is the sliver East of Woodbury?

I used to get so irritated when I went to college in Willmar and they called themselves west central.

Grand Rapids is right on the line, I have always thought of Grand Rapids as Northern MN! It is a long ways from here that is for sure!

I live in the NW metro. Is that accurate? When I get north of your town on ten, I feel like I am out of the cities. I say ‘Yup’.
