Kingfield Neighborhood Association
Before annexation in Minneapolis in 1887, Kingfield neighborhood was all farm area. During that year, the southern border of Minneapolis changed from 38th Street to 54th Street. The area was soon named after Colonel William S. King, who was an ex-congressman who lived in Minneapolis during the 19th century. He was chosen to be honored because he was a prominent figure in national affairs and was active in the anti-slavery struggle. Businesses in Kingfield first showed up in the 1940s, and many other businesses came and went, all of them built on passion for their services.
Today, about 8,000 people reside in Kingfield, and the community hosts an annual Summer Farmer’s Market and art show.
