A suburb of Minneapolis, Coon Rapid was originally a part of Anoka Township, separating to become its own municipality in 1952. Its name comes from Coon Creek Rapids, a turbulent part of the Mississippi River near the mouth of Coon Creek, although the rapids themselves were removed as a result of the construction of the Coon Rapids Dam in 1913.
