Maple Grove is a suburban city in Hennepin County. The population was 61,567 at the 2010 census but has been growing rapidly since then, as 2019 US census estimates rank Maple Grove as Minnesota’s eighth largest city with 72,622 residents.
Founded in 1858, the city was known for its large stands of maple trees and was, therefore, a significant source for maple syrup. Maple Grove has several nicknames: The Grove, The Groove, “MG”, and its motto is: “Serving Today, Shaping Tomorrow”.
