Ramsey County

Welcome to Ramsey County, Minnesota. The county is named after Alexander Ramsey, the first governor of the Minnesota Territory, and is the home of the state capital. Although Ramsey County is the smallest county in the state and the most densely populated, it has many beautiful recreational areas and parks. The Parks and Recreation Department operates nine county parks, five regional parks, extensive bike and cross-country ski trail corridors, golf courses, ice arenas, swimming beaches, boating facilities and much more. Within its borders there are 17 municipalities and the most colleges and universities of any county in the state. There are six suburban county libraries.

The Ramsey County Court House is a good symbol for the County – an area with a strong cultural heritage that is also well-integrated with modern technology-based systems. The Court House is a beautiful Art Deco structure that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1931 and renovated in 1993, it combines elegant design with recent technology as the operation center for local government and the courts.
