Coon Rapids is a suburb of Minneapolis, located about 14 miles north of the city. Originally named "Coon Creek," agriculture was the first industry to the area. A brickyard was the next thing to come along-a remaining scar from that industry is still visible today and is known as the Clay Hole. Finally, in 1898, the Great Northern Development Company recognized the potential for power at the confluence of Coon Creek and the Mississippi River and a dam was constructed. When finally a comlpeted in 1914, a busy and industrious community had sprung up, comprised of the hundreds of laborers and engineers who worked on the dam and the name of the city was changed to more accurately reflect the nature of the, now rapidly moving, Coon Creek.
