Ever wonder how Saint Cloud, Minnesota got it's name? Is it named after a saint -- or a cloud. Or is it something else all together? Here's the answer according to Wikipedia.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota was named after the city of Saint-Cloud, France (in Île-de-France, near Paris), which was named after the 6th-century French monk Clodoald. Saint-Cloud, France is a Paris suburb where Napoleon had his favorite palace.
