Savage

About the Community of Savage

Savage is a growing suburb distinguished by its convenient location, varied history, and lush surroundings. As the city has grown, development has occurred southward to settle on the bluffs overlooking the scenic Minnesota River Valley. Perhaps known best for its ties to a famous racehorse from the early 20th century, Savage is also regarded for its significant roll in the grain distribution industry. Yet, it is not the history or the riverfront activity that tends to draw most people to Savage. Many people say it was the community's beauty, its schools and its services that first caught their attention and persuaded them to stay. The city of Savage is located approximately 20 miles from downtown Minneapolis, and 25 miles from downtown St. Paul.
