Chaska, Minnesota: Chaska was incorporated as a village in 1871 and a city in 1891. The City retained its small town image until the 1950s when the transition to a metropolitan community began. The expansion of the seven county metropolitan area reached Chaska in the 1960s. With that expansion came the introduction of the Jonathan New Town design concept in 1966. The Jonathan "new town" development within Chaska brought new land, new jobs and new people to the community.

This period of transition and expansion continues today. Dozens of modern industries have located to Chaska and continues to do so. Residential construction adds 300 to 400 new homes per year; commercial business continues to expand offering a variety of retail and service opportunities to its residents; redevelopment of commercial areas in the downtown began in the 1980s and still continues. Although the community has seen much growth, development regulations and sound planning have ensured Chaska's small sense of community and the preservation of its rich heritage.

Chaska has beauty. Just 25 miles southwest of Minneapolis, its small 19th-century downtown quickly yields to open fields, farmland and the Minnesota River. And it has brains too. More than a dozen technology and biotech firms are based there. The town is a magnet for families, who can find reasonably priced homes, low taxes and quality schools. Chaska lies in school district 112 and offers many choices for both public and private primary education.

A new explosion in the population is expected after the construction of U.S. Highway 312 freeway passing through the heart of Chaska, serving as a fast, direct, link to the heart of the Twin Cities. This freeway will include a bus rapid transit route serving Chaska with fast, efficient mass transit.

Chaska has a vibrant and thriving business climate. Its strength comes from its diverse economic based which includes companies like Beckman Coulter, Inc., Entegris, FSI International and Lifecore Biomedical, along with others.
