ROOTED IN SMALL TOWN VALUES
Small-town charm alive in Hamburg
Since its founding in 1883 , Hamburg has been an island around which the historic agricultural stream of Carver County has flowed .
Shielded from the hustle and bustle of the metro area by a network of picturesque farms and fertile fields , Hamburg residents nevertheless enjoy quick access to the metro area from their location in southwest Carver County .
Few locations in Carver County can match Hamburg when it comes to peaceful settings . Quiet pride emanates from beautiful parks , well-maintained homes and winding residential streets . While the city has maintained its small town charm , Hamburg also paved the way for future growth with the 2011 completion of a major sewer infrastructure improvement project that had been on the horizon for years .
Community spirit is on display in the construction of a Protective Services Memorial at Bicentennial Park . The memorial honors members of the military , fire departments , police departments and paramedics , and is a highly visible attraction in the city .
New and long-time businesses are interspaced throughout the city , and Hamburg also boasts a modern city hall and fire station at the edge of town .
A bank , post office , feed mill , road construction company and several retail businesses are also located in the city , and a church and parochial school are nearby as well .
At the heart of the city is the Hamburg Community Hall . The spacious gathering place hosts wedding receptions , fundraising events and a variety of other happenings throughout the year .
Residents are particularly proud of their recreational parks in Hamburg . Bicentennial Park has seen the installation of all new playground equipment through the efforts of involved community members .
Hamburg also offers residents and visitors one of the most picturesque baseball fields in Minnesota . The Hamburg Baseball Park has been the site of numerous state amateur tournaments , including the 2021 tournament that it co-hosted with Waconia and Chaska .
