Minnesota's population as a whole is growing, but it's growing slowly compared to the national average, according to a story by KARE 11 from the beginning of this year. Despite the fact that, as a state, our population is growing slowly, there's one city that's growing at an incredible rate.

It's growing so quickly that the city has been named one of the fastest-growing cities in the entire country.

Fastest-Growing City in Minnesota

The US Census released their data on the fastest-growing cities across the US based on their most recent data.

They found that most of the cities with the fastest growth lately are in the South. However, there's one city in Minnesota that cut in and made the list!

The Minnesota city that made the cut is the Twin Cities suburb, Rosemount.

Rosemount is a great city that has definitely been growing a ton over the years. I grew up in the south Twin Cities, close to Rosemount, so I've seen it when the town was small.

Now, whenever I drive through, I'm always so surprised by how much development has happened! But seeing, now, that they're one of the fastest growing cities in the country it makes total sense.

Rosemount Mayor Jeffery D. Weisensel spoke with KARE 11 after Rosemount made the list, and this is what he had to say:

"This recognition reflects years of thoughtful strategic planning, strong leadership, and a commitment to maintaining the high quality of life our residents expect. ... Rosemount continues to attract families, businesses, and investors who recognize our unique blend of hometown charm and big-city access."
