The city of New Hope is a second-ring suburb located about 11 miles northwest of downtown Minneapolis, just north of Medicine Lake and east of Highway 169. New Hope began as a small, farming community in the early 1900s. When the city of Crystal was incorporated in 1936, many rural farmers were unhappy about paying taxes for projects such as street lighting and sanitary sewer, and broke away to form their own township, and likewise named the community New Hope. Fifteen years later, the rapidly developing township of New Hope would also choose to become a city to avoid the continual loss of land to neighboring Crystal. In 1953, New Hope incorporated as a city. Again, the farming community opposed the incorporation, but housing developments between 1936 and 1953 had made farmers a minority in New Hope.

New Hope is a very typically suburban community boasting over 200 acres of park land parceled into 20 parks, a 26-acre, 9-hole par three golf course: New Hope Village Golf Course, Olympic-sized swimming pool and ice arena 20, outdoor theater utilized by New Hope's Off-Broadway Musical Theatre group, and countless youth and adult sports leagues, community education classes, as well as community-wide events like the annual Duk Duk Daze.

New Hope contains five concentrated shopping areas: strip malls with both smaller retail, super-mega-stores, popular dining, coffee shops and services, fitness centers and a bowling alley. The community takes pride in its well-maintained residential neighborhoods and growing industrial base that presently includes three industrial parks.
