About location

The landscape around Jordan is a gently rolling mosaic of farmland, wooded creek corridors and wetlands, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. This Scott County community lies southwest of Minneapolis, close to where Sand Creek meets the Minnesota River. U.S. Highway 169 gives Jordan a direct road connection with the metropolitan area, while the surrounding countryside remains central to its setting. Downtown businesses and housing sit beside arterial roads serving local journeys and through traffic. Jordan is widely associated with Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store, a seasonal roadside shop in a yellow barn that has become a familiar stop for regional road-trippers. Its position between the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area and southern Minnesota gives the city a practical small-town character.

Region Minnesota

Forests, prairie and a vast lake country define much of Minnesota – these environments sustain farming, recreation and communities accustomed to long, cold winters. The Mississippi River begins at Lake Itasca in the north, then crosses the state on its way south, while Minnesota’s Lake Superior shoreline brings a markedly different, rocky Great Lakes character to the northeast. Minneapolis and Saint Paul form the Twin Cities on the river, the state’s principal urban centre. Minnesota is also home to Dakota and Ojibwe communities whose cultural presence remains central to the region.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
