About Minnetonka

Minnetonka, a thriving suburban community located just 8 miles west of downtown Minneapolis, offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, residential comfort, and business opportunities. With a population of approximately 54,000, Minnetonka is well-known for its serene lakes, expansive parks, and family-friendly neighborhoods, making it an attractive place for both residents and visitors.

Much like its larger neighbor, Minneapolis, Minnetonka is steeped in history. The city's name itself is derived from the Dakota Sioux word for "great water," a tribute to Lake Minnetonka, one of the largest lakes in Minnesota and a central feature of the area. Historically, the city was a hub for the lumber and milling industries, much of which can still be seen in the preservation of heritage sites like the Burwell House, a 19th-century home that offers insight into Minnetonka
