ABOUT ELLIOT PARK MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA
Elliot Park is one of the oldest neighborhoods located just south of downtown Minneapolis. It was first surveyed in the early 19th century, exactly four years after Minneapolis had been founded. It derives its name from a neighborhood park whose land was donated by a physician known as Dr. Joseph Elliot.
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, many mansions were erected in Elliot Park. These have since been converted into residential apartments and multifamily dwellings to cater for the influx of new residents and students. Despite this, some of the old brick and stone buildings such as the Rappahannock condos and the Roselle apartment buildings still stand to date.
Elliot Park has also grown into a medical center for the greater Minneapolis area. It is home to many healthcare institutions including Augustana Care Center, Benedictine Health Care Center, Hennepin County Medical Center, and several smaller healthcare institutions. The North Central University is also another notable institution that calls Elliot Park home not forgetting the First Church of Christ, Scientist and the Hinkle-Murphy House.
