About Maplewood

Located in the heart of the region, the City of Maplewood is known for its lush landscapes, historic architecture, and a tight-knit community spirit. Home to over 25,000 residents, we pride ourselves on maintaining a "small-town feel" while providing top-tier municipal services and a thriving local economy.

Whether you are a lifelong resident, a business owner, or a first-time visitor, Maplewood offers a unique blend of urban convenience and natural beauty. From our award-winning park system to our historic downtown district, there is always something to discover here.

Founded in 1887, Maplewood began as a hub for local agriculture and trade. The arrival of the railroad in the early 20th century transformed the village into a bustling suburb. Today, you can still see glimpses of our past in the Maplewood Historic District, where many of the original storefronts and homes have been meticulously preserved.

We honor our history through annual community events, the preservation of our local landmarks, and the stories told at the Maplewood Historical Society.
