Brooklyn Center

Brooklyn Center has served as a suburban community in Minnesota’s Hennepin County since its incorporation as a village in 1911. Set northwest of downtown Minneapolis, it developed from farmland into part of the Twin Cities metropolitan area during the 20th century. The Mississippi River traces much of the city’s eastern edge, while Shingle Creek runs through local parkland on its way to the river. The Earle Brown Heritage Center occupies the former farm of Earle Brown, a Minnesota governor and prominent figure in the area’s early civic life.
