Cottage Grove is a vibrant community of 34,000 residents with a growing
manufacturing and retail economy. We are located approximately eight miles southeast of Minnesota's "Twin Cities" of St. Paul
and Minneapolis right off of US 61.
Settled in the 1840's with the creation of the Langdon and "Old Cottage Grove"
villages, Cottage Grove is now one of the fastest-growing communities in Minnesota. At the beginning of a new millennium,
Cottage Grove is facing a bright future.
