BLAINE LivinG Home to many quality schools, health care facilities, churches and unprecedented recreational opportunities, Blaine is an ideal place to call home. With residential and business development thriving, the community’s amenities and potential are second to none. An abundance of mature neighborhoods and new developments are scattered throughout town, offering a range of housing types from starter homes to executive housing. And with the city’s tremendous residential growth – Blaine led Twin Cities suburbs in housing starts in the 2000s – finding your dream home could not be easier.

election, electing Moses Ripley as the first chairman of the Board of Supervisors. Ripley, who had come to Minnesota from Maine, persuaded fellow board members to name the new township in honor of James G. Blaine, a senator and three-time presidential candidate from Maine. By 1880, Blaine’s population had reached 128.

While many other communities in Anoka County experienced growth due to farming, Blaine’s sandy soils and abundant wetlands discouraged would-be farmers; the area instead remained a prime hunting location. Blaine’s growth remained slow until after World War II, when starter home developments began to spring up in the southern part of town.

Phillip Laddy, a native of Ireland, is recognized as the first settler in Blaine, having settled near the lake that now bears his name – Laddie Lake – in 1862. Laddy died shortly after his arrival and his survivors moved on to Minneapolis.

Blaine has attracted new corporate residents and is also home to the National Sports Center, an Olympicclass training facility, as well as home to a Tournament Players Club golf course.

Englishman George Townsend lived for a short time in the area of Lever Street and 103rd Avenue after Laddy’s passing, but Blaine did not gain its first permanent resident until 1865, when Green Chambers settled on the old Townsend claim. Chambers was a former slave who moved north from Barron County, Kentucky, following the Civil War. In 1870, George Wall, Joseph Gagner and others settled in the area and the population began to grow.

Always attend to cooking: Unattended cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the United States. Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children: Curiosity is the most common reason children set fires. Children want to know how fire looks and feels, what it can do and how it burns. They may also try to imitate adults by lighting candles, cigarettes and fireplaces. It only takes about two minutes for the flame from a single match to set an entire room on fire and less than five minutes for that fire to overtake an entire house. Smoke Alarms should be placed on ceilings in hallways outside bedrooms, in the bedrooms and on at least every level of the home: Check battery level monthly and change batteries at least yearly or when they begin to chirp. Have a home fire escape plan and practice it with your family at least once a year: Remember to have a specific meeting place outside in front of the home and to call 9-1-1 from a neighbor’s home.
