Combines a tranquil, rural feel with close-in metro convenience.
Orono, Minnesota, is an affluent, scenic city in Hennepin County situated along the northern shore of Lake Minnetonka, about 20 miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Known for its wooded lots, luxurious homes, and abundant shoreline, Orono combines a tranquil, rural feel with close-in metro convenience, making it popular with families and outdoor lovers alike. The city also features recreational amenities like the historic Orono Orchards Public Golf Course, one of Minnesota’s earliest grass-green courses, and hosts community events that celebrate its lakeside character.
The area’s modern identity traces back to the late 19th century: originally part of Medina and Excelsior Townships, local residents successfully formed the separate Orono Township in 1889, naming it after Orono, Maine, the hometown of an early settler. As settlement grew around the scenic bays and wooded lands of Lake Minnetonka, the township gradually shifted from rural roots to a more residential lakeshore community. Orono was officially incorporated as a village in 1955 and has continued to evolve while preserving its natural beauty and strong community traditions.
