<h1 style="text-align: center;">New Hope, <em>Minneapolis</em></h1>
<p>After its establishment by farming communities in the mid nineteenth century, residents of the Crystal township in southeast Minnesota broke off and formed the settlement of New Hope in the late 1930&rsquo;s. The city&rsquo;s population grew exponentially from just over 600 in the early 1950&rsquo;s to over 24,000 in the early 1970&rsquo;s.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But despite growth of population and modern industry, however, the city still maintains a relaxed and friendly small-town energy. In a recent survey, over 89 percent of New Hope Residents rated their quality of life as good or excellent!</p>
<p>Attractions in New Hope include the weekly farmer&rsquo;s market, stunning local community gardens and the annual Duk Duk Daze Summer festival offering a variety of fun activities for children and adults alike. &nbsp;And once worn out by the day&rsquo;s activity, visitors can enjoy dinner at the movies at New Hope Cinema Grill, or maybe a couple of drinks in front of live music at the wonderful Pub 42.&nbsp;</p>
