Oakdale

Built around farmland and rural homesteads, Oakdale grew into a suburban city on the eastern side of Minnesota’s Twin Cities. Tanners Lake and the wetlands of Oakdale Nature Preserve bring water and open habitat into a community closely linked to Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Incorporated in 1959, Oakdale developed as Washington County’s population expanded after the mid-20th century; parks, neighbourhoods and local sports facilities now shape much of its civic life. Its position east of the Mississippi River places it within the metropolitan area while retaining a distinctly residential scale.
