We Love Chisago, Minnesota!

Nestled in the heart of the St. Croix River Valley, Chisago City is a charming community that perfectly blends small-town charm with natural beauty. Located about 35 miles northeast of the Twin Cities, this picturesque city is easily accessible via Highway 8 and offers a serene escape from urban life.

Founded in 1855 by Swedish immigrants, Chisago City takes its name from Ki-Chi-Saga, meaning “fair and lovely waters” in the Ojibwe language. This nod to its Native American heritage is fitting for a city blessed with numerous lakes and waterways.

With a population of approximately 5,000 residents, Chisago City has seen steady growth while maintaining its close-knit community feel. Situated at an elevation of 899 feet above sea level, the city enjoys warm summers perfect for outdoor activities and crisp winters ideal for ice fishing and skiing.

Chisago City is perhaps best known as part of the inspiration for Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg’s “The Emigrants” series, which chronicled Swedish immigration to America. This literary connection is celebrated throughout the city, with statues of the books’ characters Karl Oskar and Kristina prominently displayed.

Visitors and residents alike enjoy three main attractions:

  1. Chisago Lakes: A chain of five interconnected lakes offering year-round recreation, from summer boating and fishing to winter ice skating and snowmobiling.
  2. Swedish Circle Tour: A self-guided driving tour that takes you through the area’s rich Swedish heritage, including historic sites, museums, and charming small towns.
  3. Franconia Sculpture Park: Located just outside the city, this 43-acre outdoor museum features over 120 contemporary sculptures and offers a unique blend of art and nature.

A fun local fact: Chisago City is home to the world’s largest Swedish coffee pot, a 25-foot-tall structure that serves as a water tower and a nod to the area’s Swedish roots.

From its scenic lakes to its rich cultural heritage, Chisago City offers a beautiful blend of natural beauty, history, and small-town charm that makes it a wonderful place to call home.
