Shorewood, Minnesota is a scenic lakeside city in Hennepin County straddling the southern shore of Lake Minnetonka, known for its wooded neighborhoods, abundant parks, and a relaxed suburban lifestyle with easy access to water recreation and the Twin Cities. The city is primarily residential, with a population of around 7,700 people, and features numerous public parks, beaches, and trails that take advantage of its lakeside setting and natural beauty. The community’s history goes back to the glacial formation of the Lake Minnetonka basin and the Native American peoples who first inhabited the area, with “Minnetonka” coming from the Dakota language meaning “Big Waters.” As Euro-American settlement expanded in the 19th century, the region became part of Excelsior Township, and later atop a well-traveled lake where tourism thrived in the late 1800s. To avoid annexation by neighboring communities, residents formally incorporated Shorewood as a village in 1956, and it later became a city, preserving its residential character and lakeside charm while growing into the close-knit community it is today.
