Edina: Where the First Indoor Mall Opened
Edina sits directly south of Minneapolis along France Avenue and Highway 100. The Southdale Center, which opened in 1956, was the first fully enclosed, climate-controlled shopping mall in the United States. Architect Victor Gruen designed the building as a suburban alternative to downtown retail, and it set the template for malls across the country.
The city has long been one of the wealthiest suburbs in the Twin Cities, with high property values, well-funded schools, and a commercial property tax base supported by Southdale and the surrounding office towers. The Edina Country Club, established in 1924, occupies a large tract of green space in the center of the city.
Centennial Lakes Park, built on a former gravel quarry, features walking paths around artificial lakes, an amphitheater, and an ice rink. The 50th and France shopping district, on the border with Minneapolis, is one of the most established walkable retail areas in the suburbs.
