The Township of Mounds View was created on May 11, 1858, the very same day that Minnesota became a state. For more than 100 years the township thrived with loggers, mill hands, trappers and truck gardeners. What struck visitors about this township were the strange mounds of sand and gravel in the northeast corner, high enough to be seen from almost anywhere. Today those mounds are nearly gone due mainly to nature and the needs of World War II when the area became a small arms arsenal; however, this was the origin of the town name. By 1939 Knollwood Park was established with 45 new homes, and the population continued to grow. Finally on April 22, 1958 Mounds View Township became a village, and became an official city in 1973.
