Located in Hennepin County Minnesota, Eden Prairie - formerly a real farming town -- is a lively and exciting community of almost 60,000 people.

Eden Prairie provides a unique mix of history, agriculture, corporate presence and upscale living. The city's 100-acre downtown district is called the Major Center Area (MCA). Like many downtown areas across the nation, the MCA is undergoing extensive renovation. The district is envisioned to be a pedestrian-friendly, architecturally unified community gathering area. Area students are served by the excellent Eden Prairie School District, home to award-winning Eden Prairie High School. The Minnetonka and Hopkins districts serve students in some areas of the city.

When the airport opened to the public in 1946, businesses began to relocate to the Hennepin County area, precipitating the growth that still shows no signs of slowing.
