Savage, Minnesota Area Information and Real Estate Resources

Savage, Minnesota is a growing Scott County city with a population of about 33,000 people. Situated southwest of downtown Minneapolis, this community boasts an excellent location in the greater metropolitan area.

This Minnesota community was first settled during the 1600s by French fur traders. Savage was then settled by Irish and Scottish immigrants about 1800. From there, the community developed as a bedroom community.

Overtime – and with the help of such developments as the Chicago Northwestern Railroad Line – the community grew, albeit slowly. After a while, Savage became a shipbuilding port for the U.S. Navy. It later transformed into an industrial manufacturing job center.

Although the community was originally named Hamilton (after the city by the same name in Ontario), the town was renamed Savage after Marion Willis Savage, who owned and trained the celebrated racing horse Dan Patch. Today, this 16.45-square-mile community remains relatively undeveloped and rural. Although Savage’s close proximity to Minnesota State Highway 13 as well as Interstate 35W have helped fuel some recent growth.
