Edina is a first-ring suburb situated immediately southwest of Minneapolis in Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States. Edina began as a small farming and milling community in the 1860s, and 140 years later the only remnant of the farms can be seen in some of the names of streets, which were named after the families who operated them. Edina is also home to the first fully enclosed, climate controlled shopping mall in the United States, Southdale Mall.
