Cottage Grove, Suburban city in Washington County, Minnesota
Cottage Grove extends across 37 square miles along the north bank of the Mississippi River, 10 miles south of Saint Paul metropolitan area.
The settlement began in 1843 as an agricultural community, developing into a major producer of wheat and establishing Minnesota's first creameries in the region.
Every June, Kingston Park fills with residents gathering for Strawberry Fest, featuring parades, carnival games, food vendors, and evening fireworks displays.
The city connects to neighboring urban areas through U.S. Highway 61 and Interstate 494, with regular public transportation services to Saint Paul.
