New Hope, Minnesota

New Hope was originally a farming community called Hope in Crystal Lake Township. In 1936, rural residents of the township broke away and formed their own township, choosing the name New Hope.{{cite web|title=City of New Hope|url=https://www.newhopemn.gov/live/community/new_hope_history|access-date=July 28, 2022}} The area, originally part of the Crystal Lake Township, experienced significant growth and development following World War II, transforming the rural farmland into a suburban community. In 1953, the residents of the western part of Crystal Lake Township sought independence and municipal services, leading to New Hope's incorporation as a village. By 1974, New Hope had achieved city status, reflecting its expanding population and urbanization.{{cite web | url=https://www.newhopemn.gov/live/community/new_hope_history | title=New Hope History }}
