Hinckley Minnesota is a small rural community with a rich history and a prosperous future. Here you will find a community that has seen many changes over the years in industry and landscape. The biggest change came about in 1894 when the Great Hinckley Fire devastated the entire town and surrounding areas. The spirited pioneers pulled themselves out of the ashes to rebuild the town that would prosper in agriculture due to the nutrient rich soil. The community is continuing to evolve and adjust to changing times. Hinckley has lost much of its agriculture community, but has become a tourist destination for its history, good food, bike trail, St. Croix State Park and Hinckley Grand Casino. The population is around 1300 and continues to grow by meeting job demands and people who want to live in a small community.

There are now more than 700 motel rooms and sixteen restaurants including several fast food establishments.
