About the Community of Anoka
Anoka is a well-developed city situated at the confluence of the Rum and Mississippi rivers in the south-west pocket of Anoka County. A thriving business and residential community, Anoka still maintains much of its small-town charm through old Victorian houses and antique shops. Frequently referred to as the Halloween Capital of the World because of its celebrated Halloween parade and events, Anoka covers approximately 7 square miles and is located 20 miles north-west of Minneapolis. Today, more than 600 businesses are located in the community, ranging from small in-home offices to major international corporations. Anoka has operated its own electric utility since 1909. With 825 acres of recreational property and more then 300 acres still undeveloped, Anoka offers recreational activities such as hiking, biking, swimming, tennis, picnicking and golf throughout its numerous parks and playgrounds.
