City of Victoria MN Revenue and Competitors

Victoria, a city of over 8,000 residents founded in 1915, lies in Carver County on the western edge of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The many lakes and parks in the city give the community its identity as the “City of Lakes and Parks.” Recreation amenities include the large city-managed Victoria Recreation Center and the 15-mile Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail, easily accessible from downtown Victoria. The city is adjacent to the 3,000-acre Carver Regional Park and borders the renowned University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The city is served by three excellent public school districts--Eastern Carver County, Minnetonka and Waconia—and Holy Family Catholic High School. Many young families have built new homes in the city over the past decade, doubling the population. Victoria has an attractive, welcoming commercial center with a mix of old and new buildings.
