Edina

Edina extends across 16 square miles of land with residential neighborhoods, parks, and multiple retail centers located 8 miles from downtown Minneapolis.

The community started as a farming settlement along Minnehaha Creek in the 1860s and incorporated as one of Minneapolis's first suburbs in 1888.

The city maintains 44 public parks covering 1,550 acres of land, where residents participate in organized sports programs and outdoor recreational activities.

Southdale Center, the first indoor shopping mall in the United States, remains a central retail destination within Edina's commercial district.

The Morningside neighborhood operated as an independent village from 1920 until 1966, when it merged back into Edina's municipal boundaries.
