BUYING A HOME IN ROSEMOUNT, MN

The Rosemount area was originally inhabited by the Lower Band Mdewakanton of the Santee Sioux tribe. On August 5, 1851, Chief Little Crow, the leader of the New Ulm Indian uprising, signed a treaty at Pilot Knob in Mendota, turning the land over to the federal government.

In 1853, the first settlers came from Scotland by way of New York to stake a claim. They were followed soon after by many immigrants, most of whom were Irish Catholics. As the number of settlers increased, there came a need for a community organization. On May 11, 1858, settlers met at the home of Thomas Dowd for the first township meeting. Coincidentally, this was the same day that Minnesota became a state.

There was some debate over whether to name the township Saratoga or Rosemount, with the latter finally chosen to reflect the town’s Irish heritage and remain in keeping with the name given to the post office a few years earlier.

The town is a great place to live and raise children. Rosemount ranked 12th in the “Best Places to Live 2015” list among the 3,625 U.S. towns with populations of 10,000 to 50,000 that were judged using statistics, a site visit, and interviews with residents.

Population in 2019: 25,207 (98% urban, 2% rural). Population change since 2000: +72.4%

Estimated median house or condo value in 2019: $305,222 (it was $152,100 in 2000)

Rosemount is safer than the majority of cities, towns, and villages in America (76%) and also has a lower crime rate than 65% of the communities in Minnesota, according to Neighborhood Scout’s analysis of FBI crime data.
