The Community

Nestled in the heart of the Lakes Country is the City of Brainerd, Minnesota.
The City is located just north of the geographical center of the state and is
the county seat of Crow Wing County. Brainerd is the principal City of the
Brainerd Micropolitan Area. Brainerd is also one of the largest cities in
central Minnesota and is home to 14,395 residents who enjoy all this City
has to offer. In fact, 57.8% of the Brainerd population is under the age of
39 indicating a growing and vibrant community.

Brainerd was founded in 1870 when the Northern Pacific Railroad’s survey
determined that its Mississippi River crossing should be located there. Originally named “The Crossing,” it was organized as a City three years later, and the community was given the maiden name of Ann Eliza (Brainerd)
Smith, wife of the Northern Pacific’s first president, John Gregory Smith. As the City grew, it attained prominence as the railroad and wood products center in north central Minnesota. Extensive railroad shops, yards,
and sawmills dominated the City’s industrial makeup for many years.

Today, Brainerd is known for being a vacation destination. Surrounded by lakes and wildlife, Brainerd has much to offer its residents and visitors including exceptional recreational amenities, a solid education system, top-notch healthcare, and an unbeatable quality of life.
