CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
EDEN PRAIRIE RECEIVED ITS NAME IN THE MID-1800S WHEN IT WAS CONSIDERED A ‘ GARDEN SPOT ’ IN THE NEWLY DEVELOPED MINNESOTA TERRITORY .
Established in 1858 , Eden Prairie remained a sleepy pastoral village until the mid-1900s when the additions of Flying Cloud Airport and Highway 494 put the City on the map , bringing thousands of homes and businesses to the area . Since then , the population of Eden Prairie has grown to more than 64,000 and the number of businesses has multiplied to more than 2,800 .
The growing community enjoys a low crime rate , top-rated educational opportunities and affordable housing options , in addition to nearly 10,000 acres of land designated for parks and open spaces , miles of scenic views and a multitude of breathtaking lakes and beaches . Residents consistently rank the quality of life in Eden Prairie highly and the City has been listed among Money magazine ’ s “ Best Places to Live ” in America since 2006 .
