History

[edit]

The city of Mounds View is located in the former Mounds View Township, which was organized in 1858.[8] In 1958, 100 years after Minnesota became a state, the village of Mounds View was incorporated. Post-World War II growth was partially fueled by the proximity of the Twin Cities Arsenal.

The city is primarily residential, with several business parks and businesses located in Mounds View. The bulk of businesses are located along the County Road 10 corridor, with most residential areas flanking it to the north and south. Some of the businesses include Sysco Distributing and Mermaid Entertainment & Event.[9] Former notable businesses include Muldoon's Off 10 and Totino's.

A petroleum pipeline exploded in Mounds View on July 8, 1986. Two-hundred people had to evacuate their homes and two people, a mother and her young daughter, were killed. The Minnesota Office of Pipeline Safety was created in 1987 in response to the tragedy.[10]

In 1987, Mounds View became a Tree City USA-recognized Tree City. As of 2024, it is still a Tree City USA-recognized Tree City.[11]

In 2005, the Mounds View City Council voted to sell the city-owned golf course, "The Bridges of Mounds View," to Medtronic, to become its new campus.[12][13][14] The new campus is located in the north east corner of the city and opened Fall of 2007.[15]

In June 2016, the Mounds View city council voted to change the name of County Road 10 to Mounds View Blvd for the city’s portion of the road.[16]

Prior to the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, racial covenants were used to exclude African Americans and other people of color from Mounds View. The unenforceable covenants remain in the deeds for over 500 houses. In June 2024, Mayor Zach Lindstrom announced a draft ordinance that would require property owners to discharge these covenants before sale.[17]
