About Eagan
Eagan was named for Patrick Eagan, an Irish farmer who became the first chairman of the town board when the township was set up in 1860. Before that, the Black Dog Dakota village stood on the Minnesota River shore. From about 1840 to 1930 so many onions were grown here that Eagan was called the Onion Capital of the U.S. The big growth came in the 1980s with new highways and bridges. Today people know it for Holz Farm, a farm kept as a living history site, the Vikings practice fields and Lebanon Hills trails.
