Eden Prairie, Suburban city in Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States.
Eden Prairie is a city in Hennepin County, Minnesota, stretching across wooded hills and lakeshores down to the Minnesota River. Several nature preserves protect wetlands and prairie patches within the city limits.
The region opened to settlers in 1851 and quickly grew from farmland to township. The community gained official city status in 1858, seven years after the first land claims.
The name Eden Prairie combines biblical paradise with open grassland. Settlers chose this name for the gentle slopes and green spaces they found here.
Trails link parks and lakes across the community, suitable for walking, cycling, or jogging in any weather. In winter, many areas turn into routes for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
The Flying Cloud Airport sits on the southern edge and serves private pilots and small charter planes. The airfield dates to the post-World War II era and now serves mostly recreational aviation.
