City of Independence Minnesota

Welcome to the City of Independence! Independence is a beautiful rural community within a short drive of downtown Minneapolis.

Independence Township was organized on April 11, 1858, became the Village of Independence on January 8, 1957, and the City of Independence on April 9, 1974. It is a “gem” of a rural city in the heart of an exploding metropolis. The area is dotted with pretty, little farms, lovely and unique homes, attractive churches, lakes, ponds, rolling hills, wetlands and large wooded areas. Independence is lo

cated on the western edge of Hennepin County, with a population of 3,700. Loretto, a little city with a number of quaint and excellent restaurants and taverns, is just to our northeast. The city of Delano, with its convenient shopping center, is located on our west boundary. The pretty, quiet, little city of Maple Plain is just to our east. Medina and Orono also lie immediately east and Minnetrista is to our south.
