History of Inver Grove Heights
In 1852, pioneers staked claims in an area known as Inver Grove.
Attracted by the area's rolling green hills of the countryside and the close
proximity to the Mississippi River. Those of Irish descent clustered their farms
along what is now Rich Valley Boulevard. Settlers from Germany laid claim to
the wooded farmland in the northwest portion of the community, clearing and cultivating
fields from among the area lakes. Other settlers from France and England built
homes along the Mississippi River.
By 1858, the Township of Inver
Grove Heights was incorporated. From 1858 until 1880, hundreds
of settlers were attracted to the township that was named
after an Irish fishing village, "Inver" and commemorating the homeland
of the German settlers, "Grove."
As commercial and industrial expansion
took place in the late 1880's, people living in the one square
mile adjacent to the railroad separated themselves from the
surrounding area by incorporating as the Village of Inver
Grove in 1909. The two entities existed side by side for
more than 56 years. In 1965 the city of Inver Grove Heights
was incorporated.
