A little history...

The Shingle Creek neighborhood, of nearly 1300 households and 3300 residents, is named for the one mile meandering and historical Shingle Creek that flows through its sleepy residential boundaries to the Mississippi River where the forged roofing shingles in the neighborhood were transported in the early 1900’s. The Shingle Creek neighborhood is rich with urban history. Its streets, boundaries, and natural landmarks tell a rich story of how Minneapolis grew and became the thriving metropolis it is today.
