Eagan, United States
Eagan, a Dakota County suburb on the south bank of the Minnesota River, is a North American Regional Market with one Regional-tier co-location cluster. A corporate office, distribution, and logistics base — including the Minnesota Vikings' headquarters and training facility — distinguishes it from a purely residential suburb.
Overview
According to Wikipedia (accessed 2026-07-10), Eagan recorded a population of 68,855 at the 2020 census (a 2022 estimate of 67,534) across 33.46 square miles. It sits south of Saint Paul (a general Wikipedia geographic description) on the Minnesota River upstream from its confluence with the Mississippi. Top employers include Thomson Reuters (5,000 employees), BlueCross/BlueShield of Minnesota (3,000), and the U.S. Postal Service (an estimated 2,100), alongside Prime Therapeutics, UPS, Ecolab, and Coca-Cola Bottling. Originally an Irish farming community once known as the Onion Capital of the United States, Eagan has transformed into a mixed commercial hub of corporate offices, distribution centres, and healthcare operations. Sparsely populated northern sections host warehouses and logistics facilities near Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. The Minnesota Vikings relocated their headquarters and training facility to Eagan in 2018; the associated Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center spans 277,000 square feet with practice fields and a 6,500-seat outdoor stadium.
