Eagan, Minnesota Area Information and Real Estate Resources

Located just south of Saint Paul in Dakota County, Eagan is a thriving community with just over 65,000 residents.

Situated along the south bank of the Minnesota River, this community was originally settled as a rural Irish farming community. It later had the distinction of being nicknamed the “Onion capital of the United States!”

Eagen, MN was named after Patrick Eagan, who was the first chairman of the town board of supervisors. The community grew relatively slowly until about 1980, when Highway 77 was expanded and a new six-lane bridge over the Minnesota River was constructed. These construction projects attracted plenty of people to the area, making Eagan an ever-growing city!

Today the 33.43-square-mile community is primarily a commuter-town for those working in Minneapolis and St. Paul, although there are a number of major companies who have headquarters in Eagan, including:

  • Northwest Airlines (now Delta Air Lines)
  • Thomson West (now Thomson Reuters)

Other top employers in Eagan include:

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota
  • U.S. Postal Service
  • United Parcel Service
  • Ecolab
  • Coca-Cola Refreshments

Eagan’s quality of life, as well as its strong local job industry, helped establish this Minnesota community as the 14th best place to live in the country by Money Magazine.
