About Minnetonka
Minnetonka is a fully developed suburban community of more than 53,000 residents located eight miles west of Minneapolis. The city's natural surroundings - including trees, wetlands, prairies and diverse bodies of water - give it a distinct character.
The community has a long history of habitat protection and restoration and in 2017 joined the Mayors' Monarch Pledge to focus on actions that benefit monarchs, pollinators and other wildlife on public and private property. Minnetonka has been a Monarch Champion city since 2020 and is a national leader in urban monarch and pollinator protection.
