One county line between Mounds View and the bar

Mounds View borders Fridley on the east, and the line between them is also the line between Ramsey County and Anoka County: the county boundary forms Mounds View's western and northern edges. A trip to Two Stooges from Mounds View crosses that line, even though the two city centers are only about 3 miles apart.

U.S. Highway 10, Interstate 35W and Mounds View Boulevard are the city's main roads. The boulevard is County Road 10, renamed inside the city in 2016. Mounds View began as a township in 1858 and became a village exactly a century later. Rice Creek runs through its southeast corner and also through the middle of Fridley, and the two cities share an employer as well: Medtronic opened a campus in Mounds View in 2007 and has its operational headquarters in Fridley.

The Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant, just across the city's eastern border in Arden Hills, fueled growth here after World War II. Shoreview, Arden Hills, New Brighton, Spring Lake Park and Blaine are the other neighbors, and Edgewood Middle School and Pinewood Elementary belong to Mounds View Public Schools. That Medtronic campus stands in the northeast corner of the city, on what used to be the Bridges of Mounds View golf course, and Sysco is another of the city's notable businesses.
