Coon Rapids, Suburban city in Anoka County, Minnesota, United States

Coon Rapids spans across 23 square miles of land, including recreational lakes such as Cenaiko Lake and Crooked Lake within its boundaries.

The Red River Ox Cart Trail established in 1835 marked the beginning of industrial development, leading to the creation of Anoka Pressed Brick and Terra Cotta Company.
