About the Community of Chaska

Chaska is located on the Minnesota River in the southwestern metro area, with high-quality industrial parks and well-controlled but progressive growth. The historic downtown serves as a showcase for "Chaska brick" buildings, offering dining, entertainment, shopping, and a variety of services. The natural beauty of Carver County, with its acres of park lands, trails, lakes and streams, provides recreational opportunities for everyone. Chaska is a unique blend of traditional and action, combining pride in the old with ambitious plans for the new. As a city on the edge of the metro area, Chaska features both ready access to big-city advantages and a small-town sense of community. An active city government, dedicated to quality of life and economic development, has sustained a community of strength and character.
