Woodbury (/ˈwʊdbɛri/ WUUD-berr-ee) is a city in Washington County, Minnesota, United States, eight miles (13 km) east of Saint Paul along Interstate 94.

Woodbury was originally named Red Rock, but was renamed after Levi Woodbury, the first justice of the Supreme Court of the United States to attend law school, after it was realized that another Red Rock Township existed in Minnesota.

[7] One of the city's few surviving 19th-century farms, the Charles Spangenberg Farmstead, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Minnesota Municipal Commission had recently found that the fragmented way in which the Minneapolis suburbs and the suburbs around White Bear Lake had developed was disadvantageous, as it made coordinating sewers, public water systems, and other utilities difficult.

The two town commissions agreed to the idea, and the issue was put up for a vote during the general election of 1963.

The adjoining cities in these directions are, respectively, Oakdale, Landfall, Lake Elmo, Cottage Grove, Maplewood, Newport and Afton.

Its northeast corner lies within the watershed of Valley Creek, one of the few remaining trout streams in the Twin Cities area.

Woodbury also contains several small lakes, including Powers, Wilmes, Colby, Carver, and Battle Creek.
