The cities of Mound, Westonka and Spring Park are all closely-intertwined with residents crossing school, community, and geographical boundaries to go about their daily business. Though never permanent settlers in the area, the Dakota Indians lived along the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers, at Lake Calhoun, and Shakopee, and often traveled to Lake Minnetonka to hunt, fish and to gather wild rice, roots, and berries.

Mound derived its name from the Indian mounds once found within the city limits. They were not built by the Dakota Indians but were likely created by prehistoric Indians. Mound's recent past was as a resort town, with folks from the city setting up cabin getaways around the lakes, much like they still do in much more remote northern locations today.

Located about 20 minutes west of Downtown Minneapolis, Mound is the birth place of the Tonka truck (named after Lake Minnetonka) as well as Hercules--well, Kevin Sorbo from the TV series. Lakes in Mound include: Black Lake, Dutch Lake, Lake Langdon, Saunders Lake, Seton Lake, and of course, Lake Minnetonka and comprise a full 38 percent of the town. These lakes geographically define the city more so than would a logical sense of north-south-east-west direction.

Winding streets and a lake at every turn have led generations of Mound residents to create names like Phelps Island, Three Points, Shirley Hills, Grandview Boulevard and The Highlands to describe their neighborhoods. These cities are definitely family-oriented as well as conducive for the single and unattached. A family might enjoy a quiet afternoon of fishing on the lake, while a group of friends might take in some drinks and the view on the deck at Lord Fletcher's.
