Shakopee (/ˈʃɑːkəpi/ SHAH-kə-pee) (Dakota language: Tinta Ottonwe) is a city in and the county seat of Scott County, Minnesota, United States. It is southwest of Minneapolis. Sited on the south bank bend of the Minnesota River, Shakopee and nearby suburbs comprise the southwest portion of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, the nation’s 16th-largest metropolitan area, with 3.7 million people. The population was 43,698 at the 2020 census.
The riverbank’s Shakopee Historic District contains burial mounds built by prehistoric cultures. In the 18th century, Chief Shakopee II of the Mdewakanton Dakota established his village on the east end of this area, near the water. Trading led to the city’s establishment in the 19th century. Shakopee boomed as a commerce exchange site between river and rail at Murphy’s Landing.
Shakopee was once an isolated city in the Minnesota River Valley, but by the 1960s its economy was tied to that of the expanding metropolitan area. Significant growth as a bedroom community occurred after U.S. Highway 169 was realigned in 1996 toward the new Bloomington Ferry Bridge.
The city is known for the Valleyfair amusement park and the Canterbury Park racetrack.
