Blakeley Township

Blakeley Township is best known within Minnesota for the historic settlement of Blakeley on the Minnesota River. In Scott County, southwest of the Twin Cities, the township occupies part of the broad river valley, where cultivated fields meet wooded lowlands shaped by seasonal flooding. Blakeley developed in the nineteenth century when the Minnesota River was an important transport route, a past that still distinguishes this quiet rural area from the expanding suburbs farther east. Its setting also places it close to the Minnesota Valley’s river-bottom habitats and public lands.
