Shakopee: From Dakota Chiefs to Suburban Boom
Shakopee sits along the Minnesota River in Scott County, named after a line of Dakota chiefs who led the local band. The city has experienced enormous growth since the 1990s, fueled in part by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, one of the wealthiest tribal nations in the United States, which operates Mystic Lake Casino south of the city.
Valleyfair amusement park, opened in 1976, draws visitors from across the upper Midwest. The Canterbury Park racetrack hosts live horse racing and card games. Amazon opened a massive fulfillment center in Shakopee in 2016, becoming one of the city's largest employers and a focal point for labor organizing.
The city's historic downtown along First Avenue retains some 19th-century commercial buildings, though rapid suburban growth has shifted activity toward Highway 169 and the newer commercial corridors. The Minnesota River bluffs to the south provide dramatic terrain.
