Edina began as a smallfarmingandmillingcommunity alongMinnehaha Creekin the 1860s and became one of Minneapolis's first incorporated suburbs in 1888. After years of being astreetcar suburb,Edina saw expanded development as a car-centric suburb in the 1950s and 1960s.

The city is known for its shopping, parks, and high quality of life and also plays host to the nation's oldest indoor mall, theSouthdale Center.[9][10][11]

History

Settlement

edit

Edina began as part of Richfield Township,Minnesota.By the 1870s, 17 families, most of them immigrating as a result of theGreat Famine of Ireland,had come to Minnesota and claimed land in the southwest section of what was then Richfield Township.[13]They were followed by settlers fromNew EnglandandGermany,who claimed additional land nearMinnehaha Creek.[14]The Baird and Grimes neighborhoods (which are both listed on theNational Register of Historic Places) and the Country Club District (then known as Waterville Mills) in the northeast part of Edina were among the first areas to be established. The area then known as the Cahill Settlement, at West 70th Street and Cahill Road, was also an early community center and the home ofCahill School.[15]

In 1888, the residents of the township held a meeting to consider founding a new village, thus separating themselves from Richfield Township. The idea was favorably accepted by those within the community and a committee was established to oversee the transition.[16]

Naming

edit

After the decision was made to form a new village, a debate ensued regarding the naming of the new village. Several town meetings were held in theMinnehaha Grange Hall,during which the names Hennepin Park, Westfield and Edina were suggested. Minutes taken by Henry F. Brown, a farmer and future owner (1889) of theEdina Mill,are summarized as follows:

A long debate ensued with regard to the name by which the corporation shall be called. A motion was made and passed to reconsider the vote taken at the previous meeting of the name of the proposed village, Westfield. Another motion was then made by Andrew Craik to call the proposed village Edina (upon moving to the township in 1869 from Edinburgh, he bought and renamed the mill to the Edina Mill). Before the motion could be decided, James A. Bull, a member of the five person committee, made another motion to adjourn, which was seconded by the majority. However, the chairman of the meeting called this motion out of order, at which time disorder ensued with Baird, Wilson, Ryan and Bull declaring their intent to no longer serve as members of the committee if a gag law was to prevail. During this heated moment the meeting became somewhat boisterous until, after a few minutes order was restored. Seeing that no more work could be done at this time, a final motion was made and passed to reschedule the meeting to a future date.[17]

At the next meeting, the name Edina was finally chosen with a vote of 47 for and 42 against.[16]

There has been a prevailingmythabout the decision to name the new village Edina, which states that two opposing communities—theIrishCahill community and the Scottish Mill community—fought about whether to give the community an Irish name (Killarney Lakes) or a Scottish name (Edina). The1860 census,however, indicates that there were no Scottish people in Edina in 1860, and only a couple were present at the time of Edina's founding (1888).[14][18]

The name "Edina" may also come from the language of the nearbyDakotatribe. The wordDakota:Idénameans "to catch fire."[19]

Morningside

edit

The first suburban development in Edina occurred during the early 1900s in Morningside, a neighborhood in the northeastern part of the village. As Morningside grew, conflict arose between its residents who wanted more city services, and the residents of the rest of the village who wanted to maintain Edina's rural character. As a result of that conflict, Morningside seceded from Edina in 1920 and became a separate village.[20]In 1966, however, the Village of Morningside once again became part of Edina.[21]

Early settlement

edit

Edina was not the first settlement in its location. According to historian Deborah Morse-Kahn, theQuakervillage that existed where Edina would be built included African American families of Civil War veterans and freed slaves "became very involved in community life—especially as farmland owners, civic and cultural leaders."[22]At the November 1898 general election,J. Frank Wheaton,a Republican African American, was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives representing District 42, which included all of Edina. Wheaton beat his white Democratic opponent in every Minneapolis city ward and in every village within the legislative district, including Edina, even though the legislative district had only approximately 100 African American residents out of a total of 40,000 residents.[23]

Early development

edit

In the early 20th century suburban development brought discriminatory policies that led to nearly all of the African Americans who had been living in Edina to move away.

HistorianJames W. Loewendescribed the suburb as asundown town.[24][25][26]Researchers point in particular to Samuel Thorpe's development of theCountry Club Historic District,which useddeed restrictionsas means to exclude non-whites, stating explicitly that:

No lot shall ever be sold, conveyed, leased, or rented to any person other than one of the white or Caucasian race, nor shall any lot ever be used or occupied by any person other than one of the white or Caucasian race, except such as may be serving as domestics for the owner or tenant of said lot, while said owner or tenant is residing thereon.[22][26][27][28][29]

— James W. Loewen,Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism

Other developments, like that built by N. P. Dodge Corporation just a mile away, followed suit in attempting to protect land values through racial policies.[30]Though the Supreme Court ruled these kinds of discriminatory housing clauses unenforceable in itsShelley v. Kraemerdecision of 1948, reports of discrimination persisted through the 1950s and 1960s.[22][24]According to the Edina Historical Society's story about the first black family in Morningside (then a separate village) in 1960, attempts to keep them out included tactics like trying "to get [their] lot condemned for drainage."[24]In response, then-mayor Ken Joyce wrote a note dismissing the drainage concern and challenging citizens "to live the Golden Rule". Shortly thereafter the village voted in favor of inclusion.[24]

Jewish residents were also affected by exclusionary deed covenants. In the 1960s, some residents boasted that Edina had "Not one Negro and not one Jew."[31]

Commuter rail
edit

TheDan Patch Lineand successorMinneapolis, Northfield and Southern Railwayoperated interurban service through Edina until 1942. Although in poor condition and rated for speeds less than 35 mph, the tracks are still used by freight trains. Under theDan Patch Corridorproposal, commuter trains would operate between Minneapolis and Northfield with a station in Edina. A feasibility study was conducted in 2000 and found that ridership would be high but there would be a significant cost to upgrade the corridor for commuter trains. Due to this and strong opposition from residents living near the rail line, the proposal was put on hold until other commuter rail lines could be built. In 2002 a legislative gag order was placed on the project, which forbid the Metropolitan Council, MnDOT, and county rail authorities from discussing, studying, and building commuter rail on the Dan Patch Line.[62]In 2017 the Edina City Council conducted a study on the pros and cons of passenger rail on the Dan Patch Line. The conclusion was to not pursue passenger rail at that time (as of 2018). The legislativ gag order was repealed by the Minnesota Legislature on May 21, 2023.
