Welcome to our communities Welcome to Crystal, Golden Valley, New Hope and Robbinsdale, a group of northwest metro, first-ring suburbs that provide impressive school programs and city initiatives. The quartet of cities – 80,000 community members combined – offers safe neighborhoods and easy access to downtown Minneapolis. The cities’ roots are deep, going back to the late 1800s when settlers staked claims and carved out farms. Residential settlement continued to increase during the early 1900s, and burgeoned after World War II. Three of the cities are wholly contained within Robbinsdale Area Schools district. Though Golden Valley originally had its own school district, it merged with Hopkins in the 1980s. Now, students in the southern portion of Golden Valley are enrolled in the Hopkins School District, while students living in the northern portion attend Robbinsdale Area Schools. This community guide will offer information about each city’s development, public safety departments, parks, schools, churches, major employers, shopping opportunities, festivals and other events. You will find additional information about the libraries and regional parks that attract large numbers of people to the area. We hope this guide will help you learn more about the cities, whether you are a lifetime resident or new to the neighborhood.

CRYSTAL
Crystal • Robbinsdale • New Hope • Golden valley
Crystal flourishes with opportunity blecast on Channel 16 and live-streamed online. The Crystal Fire Department was organized in 1950 with 43 volunteers. The city now is served by the 70-member West Metro Fire-Rescue Department, which resulted from the merger of the New Hope and Crystal fire departments in 1998. There are two fire stations in Crystal. The fire board meets quarterly. The police department has 30 sworn officers. Crystal Airport is on the northern edge of the city, near the city’s VFW Club. Most of the airport is in Crystal, though portions north of 62nd Avenue are in Brooklyn Park, and the northeast corner of the airport is in Brooklyn Center. The airport is owned by the Metropolitan Airports Commission. The airport opened in 1946 as a privately owned public-use airport. In 1948, the Metropolitan Airports Commission purchased the airport. Additional land purchases were made in 1951 and 1954. The Crystal Business Association meets monthly. The city also is home to the NEAR food shelf, Lions, VFW, Crystal-New-Hope-Robbinsdale Rotary clubs and Crystal Little League organizations, and is part of the CrystalNew Hope-East Plymouth League of Women Voters. It shares a senior transportation program with four other cities. Crystal’s largest employers are the Volunteers of America Crystal Care Center, Target and Cub Foods.
“Crystal is a great place to live. It has many parks for play or exercise and is located close to many retail and industrial businesses. But the greatest part of Crystal is its people.” – Crystal Mayor Jim Adams The city of Crystal has been providing its residents with homes, community establishments and careers for more than a century. The city spans 5.9 miles and has a population of 22,138 people. When it was incorporated in 1887, there were just 587 residents in the small community. The city hall was built in 1891 at 54th and West Broadway, and served the city until 1951. It was the council meeting place until 1958. It was razed in 1962. The Northside Fire Station served as the city administrative offices from 1951-59, when the city offices moved to lease quarters and then to the present city hall in 1965. In 2010, Crystal celebrated the 50th anniversary of being a charter city. Crystal has 9,481 housing units, 6,102 families and 9,389 households. The city has a home rule charter form of government, employs 104 full-time staff members and has a $9.5 million tax levy.

The city employs 124 full-time workers, 50 paid oncall firefighters, and about 150 seasonal employees. The city has a $16.4 million tax levy. The city has a healthy tax base and a number of very large corporate citizens, including Allianz, General Mills world headquarters, Graco, Pentair, Honeywell, Tennant Co., and Courage Center. Along the Interstate 394 strip, numerous other business and entertainment places contribute to the city’s eclectic feel. Byerly’s is the city’s only grocery store. The city also is home to the Animal Humane Society, and PRISM food shelf. Golden Valley is part of the TwinWest Chamber of Commerce. Golden Valley had its own school district until a merger with the Hopkins School District in 1982. Today, the city is home to two elementary schools (one in the Robbinsdale District and one in the Hopkins District), District 281’s new School of Engineering and Arts, a learning center, two parochial schools, a private school, and the Perpich Center for Arts Education. Golden Valley had a very successful citywide Envision planning process in the mid-2000s that involved participation by hundreds of residents and has evolved into new programs and initiatives, including an annual lilacplanting day.
“Golden Valley is a vibrant community. Just minutes from downtown Minneapolis, it has beautiful parks and trails, safe neighborhoods, successful schools, high quality of services and engaging residents.” – Golden Valley Mayor Shep Harris Golden Valley began to welcome citizens to new residential developments in 1912. One-hundred years later, 20,371 people call Golden Valley home. Golden Valley is located a convenient five miles west of downtown Minneapolis making it a popular location for any rural lover preferring to remain away from the heart of the city. Golden Valley was originally incorporated Dec. 16, 1886. It was settled as an agricultural community of only a few hundred residents, full of farms, mills and dairies. The village became a city in 1972. Covering 10.5 square miles, the city is bounded by Interstate 394 on the south, Highway 169 on the west, Minneapolis on the east and New Hope on the north. The city has 8,600 housing units, 81 percent of which are owner-occupied. It also has 8,449 households and 5,508 families. Golden Valley operates under the council/manager form of government; all five city council members (including the mayor) are elected at large.

There’s no place like New Hope (plus numerous seasonal staff members) and has an $8 million tax levy. The five-member city council, elected at large, meets on the second and fourth Mondays of the month, with work sessions scheduled on off-Monday nights. All regular council meetings are cablecast on Channel 16 and live-streamed online. The city is served by the 70-member West Metro Fire-Rescue Department, headquartered in New Hope, which resulted from the merger of departments in New Hope and Crystal in 1998. The West Metro board meets quarterly. The police department has a chief, a captain, five sergeants, three investigators, 16 patrol officers, three school resource officers, a crime prevention officer, a community service officer, and two canines. The New Hope Community Farmers Market was founded in 2009 to provide locally grown and produced foods and merchandise in an open-air market each Saturday from mid-June to mid-October in the former Kmart parking lot across the street from city hall. New Hope is a member of the TwinWest Chamber of Commerce. The city has more than 400 businesses, and a business council that meets monthly. Most retail businesses are in the City Center at 42nd and Winnetka avenues, Winnetka Commons near 36th and Winnetka and Midland Center at Medicine Lake Road and Winnetka Avenue.
“New Hope is a small community surrounded by a large metropolis. We keep the small town feel by having a farmer’s market, community prayer breakfast and plays in the park. Nearly 9 percent of our total land area is dedicated to public use with numerous parks, a golf course and ice arena. We embrace our diverse population with a wide variety of housing options. If you’re looking for the small town feel, New Hope is the place to be.” – New Hope Mayor Kathi Hemken It may not date back as far as its neighboring cities but New Hope proves to be an up-and-coming community to live in. The area was originally founded in the early 1900s as a farming community in Crystal Lake Township. After the city of Crystal took up all of the former Crystal Lake Township after incorporation in 1936, farmers in the western part of the city broke off and formed New Hope Township. New Hope was reincorporated as a borough in 1953. Today, New Hope is a 5.2-square-mile city of 20,824 people that borders Golden Valley on the south, 62nd Avenue on the north, Highway 169 on the west and Crystal on the east. The city has a Plan B council/manager form of government, employs 86 full-time and 16 part-time people 6

Fawcett Publishing Co., founded in 1919 in Robbinsdale, published Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang books, and gave the city’s festival its name. The annual three-day summer festival, Whiz Bang Days, is held in July. The city is proud of its long-established Robbinsdale City Band, the oldest continuously active marching band in the U.S. The city sponsors a plethora of annual events, including Meet and Greet the second Monday in September, Pet And Wheel parade, spring eggstravaganza on the Saturday before Easter, police and fire open house in August and the community tree lighting and sing-a-long the first Tuesday in December. A book on the city titled “Robbinsdale then … and now” is available at the museum and at city hall.
“A vibrant community that welcomes you to our historic downtown, renowned restaurants, unique shops, strong neighborhoods, A+ schools and extraordinary citizens that make Robbinsdale the place to be.” - Mayor Regan Murphy Although Robbinsdale sits a mere 10 minutes away from buzzing downtown Minneapolis, it continues to provide a quaint, small town feel none the less. The city is one of the first communities identified as a suburb of Minneapolis and was named for Andrew B. Robbinsdale, an entrepreneur who purchased 90 acres of land after he passed through the village by train in 1887 and became enchanted with the city’s scenic beauty and its proximity to Minneapolis. The Village of Robbinsdale was organized on April 19, 1893. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, people traveled to Robbinsdale to go duck hunting on Crystal Lake. The city celebrated its centennial in 1993. Now, Robbinsdale is a 2.9-square mile suburb with a population of more than 14,000 people. It is bordered by Minneapolis, Crystal, Golden Valley and Brooklyn Center. The city has 6,032 occupied housing units and 3,375 family units. Its downtown area extends along West Broadway and offers an array of eating places, as well as a new drug store, a well-established meat market, a bakery, florist and bank. 7

HOSPITALS
Crystal • Robbinsdale • New Hope • Golden valley
North Memorial: emergency help North Memorial Medical Center, located in Robbinsdale, continues to provide professional health care services in your backyard. With more than 800 health care providers in its system, it continues to grow and be a mainstay in meeting the needs of residents in the northwest metro area. Residents of Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park as well as Golden Valley, New Hope, Crystal and Robbinsdale have taken pride and comfort in knowing that there is an independent, healthy and strong hospital for all their medical needs in the heart of these communities. In 1939, Dr. Samuel Samuelson built Victory Hospital on property he already owned in Robbinsdale. In time when the only hospitals were located downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul (to be closer to physicians’ offices), building a facility in the suburbs was a bold step. Dr. Samuelson could envision the health care needs of a growing community, and the first suburban hospital in Minnesota was admitting patients. In 1954, Victory became North Memorial Hospital when it was reorganized as a private, non-profit hospital. Three years later, North Memorial received accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. Over the next 50 years several expansion projects would take North Memorial from a 30-bed facility to a 518-bed facility. The first totally integrated hospital-based medical
transportation system in the state of Minnesota began at North Memorial, and now includes eight helicopters, 120 ambulances, and 725 employees. North Memorial also includes 13 primary care clinics located in the northwest suburbs, as well as a state-of-art outpatient center that includes cancer, imaging, radiology, and educational services. North Memorial includes: • North Memorial Medical Center, a Level I trauma Center and certified primary stroke center • North Memorial Ambulance • North Memorial Air Care, with flight crews based in the Twin Cities, Brainerd, Princeton and Redwood Falls, Minn. • North Memorial Heart & Vascular Institute, which provides a full continuum of cardiac and vascular care to patients throughout Minnesota • Humphrey Cancer Center, one of the region’s most comprehensive and specialized cancer programs • The Joint Center, an orthopedic program specializing in total joint care North Memorial Medical Center 3300 Oakdale Ave. N.

It serves the entire city of Hopkins, the majority of Minnetonka, about half of Golden Valley and portions of Eden Prairie, Edina, Plymouth and St. Louis Park. Hopkins School District’s K-12 population includes more than 7,200 students. Its secondary facilities – Hopkins High School, Hopkins North Junior High and Hopkins West Junior High – are all located in Minnetonka. The district’s primary-level facilities include Alice Smith and Eisenhower elementary schools in Hopkins, Gatewood, Glen Lake and L.H. Tanglen elementary schools in Minnetonka and Meadowbrook elementary in Golden Valley. The district is also home to the Harley Hopkins Family Center in Hopkins, which offers early childhood programs. XinXing Academy, Hopkins’ Chinese immersion program, opened at Eisenhower Elementary in 2007. It currently offers Chinese immersion in grades 1-6 and next year it will continue at the secondary level at West Junior High. The Hopkins School District has been honored with numerous national recognitions and its students and staff receive many awards as well. U.S. News & World Report named Hopkins High School a Silver Medalist School due to its high performance on state assessment tests and its college readiness
scores. Hopkins High School was ranked the 14th best high school in Minnesota and received a nationwide ranking of 628 out of more than 22,000 public high schools. Hopkins High School was also named one of America’s Most Challenging Schools by The Washington Post. Hopkins High School ranked 22 in the state and 183 in the Midwest region. Gatewood Elementary has been named a Reward School under the new Minnesota accountability system – Multiple Measurements Ratings – to meet the requirements of No Child Left Behind legislation. Being named a Reward School means Gatewood is among the top 15 percent of Title I schools in the MMR. Hopkins High School is home to the Lindbergh Center, a community facility that features five basketball courts, an indoor running track, walking path and fitness and weight training facilities that are open to the public. In 2004, the high school added a 900-seat performing arts center, which houses student and professional theater productions and concerts. It also added a state-ofthe-art dining room and food services facility that year. Hopkins Public Schools 1001 Highway 7, Hopkins 952-988-4000, www.hopkinsschools.org 17

WINE & SPIRITS
Robbinsdale Wine & Spirits serves Suddenly enjoying an adult beverage just became more rewarding. For decades residents have been happy to know they are giving back to their community each time they make a purchase at Robbinsdale Wine & Spirits. The city’s only municipally owned and operated liquor store is now located in a larger, one-level site near the U.S. Post Office in Robin Center on County Road 81 in Robbinsdale. Robbinsdale is one of 210 Minnesota cities that limits off-premises alcohol sales to municipal liquor stores. Profits from Robbinsdale Wine & Spirits are transferred to the City Park Improvement Fund for updated park facilities. Robbinsdale Wine & Spirits offers a variety of regional, domestic and imported beer, wine and liquor. The city has operated a municipal liquor store since the late 1940s when voters gave the authorization. According to the Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association, municipal liquor stores started after the prohibition as a means for cities to control the distribution of alcohol in their communities. Throughout the years, it has evolved as a way to generate income for the community. For the past few years, the liquor store has transferred $75,000 per year to fund park improvements. “We are excited by the interest in our new store and the 19
opportunity to increase funding for our parks by way of profits,” said City Manager, Marcia Glick. Municipal liquors help Robbinsdale to control alcohol sales while supplementing the cost of government services. Robbinsdale Wine & Spirits opened in June 2012, replacing the city’s original municipal liquor store. Customers can now find a wider variety of merchandise in the new building. Product space available to customers is now twice as large as the old location in Robin Center. With a name like Robbinsdale Wine & Spirits, it’s only fitting that the new location offers a larger variety of wine in a carpeted area to provide space for wine sampling. In addition to the carpeting and a special type of concrete, the Robbinsdale Historical Society has lent decorating hand to help give the store a look reminiscent of the town’s earlier years. Robbinsdale Wine & Spirits is also a contributor to community events throughout the year, the largest one being Whiz Bang Days. During the weekend-long event, the store helps coordinate the wine sampling event at Sacred Heart. Robbinsdale Wine & Spirits is open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

COURAGE CENTER
Crystal • Robbinsdale • New Hope • Golden valley
Courage Center: empowering people For 85 years Courage Center in Golden Valley has been empowering individuals with disabilities. Since its incorporation in 1928, the Courage Center in Golden Valley has strived to exceed the needs of the many people the organization helps. Courage Center founder Wilko Schoenbohm had a vision that the center would exist to fill the gaps in the needs of the community. When it was originally founded, the Golden Valley center concentrated on getting children with polio out of their homes and into the community. Since then, it has evolved, said Courage Center Senior Communications Specialist, Sue Warner. “It’s meeting the unmet needs of people with disabilities in the community,” she said. “We are giving people more independence and quality of life.” The center specializes in rehabilitation services for people with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, stroke, chronic pain, autism or disabilities experienced since birth. Along with inpatient programs, the Courage Center offers physical, mental, occupational and vocational therapies as well as assistive technology and independent living services. Warner often finds that patients have been so touched by the Courage Center, that they will come back to use their state of the art fitness center, or swim in the pool. “People interact throughout their lifetime and come
and go,” she said. “We also have an advocacy program to advocate for people with disabilities and educate the legislature.” Courage Center isn’t just a rehabilitation program; they fit in time for fun as well with a wide range of sports and recreation programs. The center has multiple camps throughout Minnesota, which offer resident camping in the summer. For kids and adults with disabilities, they offer adventure-type camps at Courage Center North, near Lake Itasca. The Golden Valley location is also one of the few rehabilitation programs in the country to be in collaboration with the Christopher and Dana Reeve Grant Program through the Reeve Foundation. With the new program, they are finding that with intensive fitness, patients are rebuilding some of the brain pathways and the results are increased functions and circulation. Through new opportunities and as a way to better serve their patients, the Courage Center has been making their mark to help ensure what they believe in – that one day, all people will live, work, learn and play in a community based on abilities, not disabilities. “It’s in our mission that we help people with disabilities to realize their full potential,” Warner said. “That’s what it really is.” 20
