Blaine History:
Until 1877 Blaine was part of the city of Anoka, Minnesota. The first settler was Phillip Laddy who imigrated from Ireland. He built a home near the lake that is named after him, Laddie Lake, in 1862. Unfortunately, he died shortly after his arrival and his survivors moved away to Minneapolis. The next Blaine resident was an Englishman named George Townsend, but alas, he only lived here for a short time near the area of Lever St. and 103rd Ave.
It wasn't until 1865 that Green Chambers became our first permanent resident when he settled on the old claim. He was a former slave from Barren County, Kentucky, who moved here following the Civil War. Then in 1870 others such as George Wall, Joseph Gagner began to settle in the area and Blaine began to grow.
In 1877 Blaine was split off from the city of Anoka and organized as our own township. This is when the first election took place and Moses Ripley was chosen as the first Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. He came to Minnesota from Maine and persuaded his fellow Board Members to honor a Maine Senator and three-time presidential candidate James G. Blaine by naming the new township after him. Our population reach 128 by the year 1880 !
Because of our sandy soil and abundant wetlands, Blaine experience slower growth than many of the other surrounding communities. This discouaged farmers and Blaine remained primarily a hunting area. It wasn't until after World War II that new developments and starter homes began to spring up in the southern part of town.
Over about a 20 year peroid, our population boomed. We went from 1,694 in 1950 to 20,640 in 1970. As the Twin Cities Metro area began to grow rapidly, Blaine's hunting areas and wide open spaces lured those who were looking for a semi-suburban life style that was a short distance from both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. Our 2005 population is estimated at 54,020.[1]
As Interstate 35-W, State Hwy. 65, and U.S. Route 10 were developed, Blaine's accessibility to Minneapolis and ST Paul increased dramatically. That is why Blaine is considered to be an attractive location for business and residential development. We have many recent additions to our list of corporate residents, such as the Aveda Corporation, MagnetStreet and Dayton Rogers Manufacturing. The National Sports Center, an Olympic class training facility, as well as home to a TPC golf course also call Blaine home.
