Welcome
Welcome to Eden Prairie
For most of its existence, Eden Prairie was a sleepy, pastoral village on the far southwestern fringes of the Twin Cities area. Between 1880 and 1960, Eden Prairie’s population barely changed. During those 80 years, the population increase was only 1,300 people, from 739 in 1880 to 2,000 in 1960.
How times have changed! By 2000, the population swelled to almost 60,000, a 3,000 percent increase. It changed from a predominantly agricultural rural area to a thriving, business-rich community that is a highly desirable place to live and work.
Eden Prairie, Minnesota is a community that has been recognized as a great place to work and raise a family and is one of MONEY Magazine's 10 “Best Places to Live” in America. It is a vibrant community of more than 60,000 people located just southwest of Minneapolis. With more than 72 percent of the population under the age of 45, the community has an optimistic eye on the future.
Eden Prairie is home to more than 2,200 businesses with more than 50,000 employees, including Super Valu, ADC, GE Fleet, Starkey Labs, MTS, Eaton, CH Robinson and the Minnesota Vikings. The City has attractive residential neighborhoods, more than 170 miles of multi-use trails, 2,250 acres of parks and 1,300 acres of open space.
