In 1847, John Banfill became Fridley's first (and soon to be most popular) settler when he built the Banfill Tavern. At that time, the area was called Manomin. Fridley's namesake, Abram M. Fridley, moved to the area in 1851. The city experienced an industrial boom in 1957, only to be leveled in 1965 after three devastating tornadoes hit the area; destroying or damaging one of every four homes.

Today, Fridley is a bustling mix of residential neighborhoods and business districts located about 12 miles north of Minneapolis, on Interstate 94, making it a convenient bus or car ride. Among the 900 or so businesses that call Fridley home is Minnesota Medical behemoth, Medtronic.

The hub of the summer community calendar is Fridley's premier summer festival, the Fridley 49er Festival, so-named for the year the city's charter was drafted (1949), as well as the year the first active settlement came to be (1849). This festival features a parade, Miss Fridley pageant, street dances, craft show and carnival. Winter boasts "Winter Fest:" sleigh rides, ice games, dog sled rides, snowball launching contest and medallion hunt.
