'''Deephaven''' is a city in [[Hennepin County, Minnesota|Hennepin County]], [[Minnesota]], United States. The population was 3,899 as of the [[2020 census]]. Situated roughly {{Convert|13|mi|km}} west of [[Minneapolis]], it is a western suburb of the [[Minneapolis–Saint Paul|Twin Cities]]. 

Deephaven, located along the eastern shore of [[Lake Minnetonka]], is the birthplace of the lake [[Scow|racing scow]] sailboat. In addition, The Cottagewood General Store is a local landmark that has been serving tourists and locals since 1895.

==History==
[[File:HotelStLouis1885.jpg|thumb|left|Hotel Saint Louis circa 1885]]

Deephaven was settled in 1876 by [[St. Louis|Saint Louis]] attorney Charles Gibson. Gibson built a [[summer house]] in an area known as "Northome" and began promoting the area as a vacation destination for [[Southern United States|Southerners]]. In 1879 he advocated for the construction of the 150-room Hotel Saint Louis, the area's first grand hotel. The community was connected to the [[Minneapolis and Saint Louis Railway]] to serve both the hotel and local cottagers.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFV7MKeEwQI | title=History of Transportation on Lake Minnetonka - YouTube | website=[[YouTube]] }}</ref>

The Minnetonka Yacht Club was founded in Deephaven in 1882 and incorporated in 1889.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.minnetonkayachtclub.org/AboutUs |title=MYC > Our Club |website=www.minnetonkayachtclub.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160408112705/http://www.minnetonkayachtclub.org/AboutUs |archive-date=2016-04-08}}</ref> One of its co-founders, Hazen Burton, built a home named "Chimo" in Deephaven in 1890. A train depot was built near the property so that the Burtons could commute to their department store in Minneapolis. The name "Deephaven" can be traced back to this depot's name.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=20983|title= Profile for Deephaven, Minnesota, MN|publisher= ePodunk |access-date= October 8, 2012}}</ref>

[[File:Minnetonka Yacht Club House c 1894.JPG|thumb|right|Minnetonka Yacht Club circa 1894]]

In 1893 Burton commissioned local boat builder Arthur Dyer to develop a new kind of sailboat called a [[scow#Racing boats: the inland lake scows|racing scow]]. When the ''Onawa'' debuted in 1893, it was disqualified for winning nearly every regatta it entered. The rules were eventually modified, and racing scows became popular worldwide.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.steamboatminnehaha.org/history.html |title=Steamboat Minnehaha History |website=www.steamboatminnehaha.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150523071627/http://www.steamboatminnehaha.org/history.html |archive-date=2015-05-23}}</ref> The ''Onawa'' is displayed at the Excelsior-Lake Minnetonka Historical Society Museum in nearby [[Excelsior, Minnesota|Excelsior]].

Lake Minnetonka fell out of favor as a vacation destination in the 1890s. The Hotel Saint Louis suffered financially and was demolished in 1907. In its place, [[Walter Donald Douglas]] of the [[Quaker Oats Company|Quaker Oats]] fortune and his wife Mahala built a 27-room estate named "Walden". Douglas died in the ''[[RMS Titanic|Titanic]]'' disaster in 1912, but Mahala and her French maid Berthe Leroy survived. Mahala returned to Deephaven as a widow and lived there until her death in 1945.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.weeklynews.com/main.asp?SectionID=16&SubSectionID=54&ArticleID=6019&TM=73068.7|title= Deephaven's Titanic ties|publisher= National Governors AssoLakeshore Weekly News|access-date= October 8, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-victim/walter-donald-douglas.html|title= Mr Walter Donald Douglas |publisher= Encyclopedia Titanica|access-date= October 8, 2012}}</ref>

Deephaven's Cottagewood General Store, opened in 1895 by Ralph M. Chapman, served as a grocer to tourists along Lake Minnetonka.<ref>{{cite web|url=  http://www.cottagewoodusa.com/history.html |title= Cottagewood General Store |publisher= Cottagewood General Store |access-date= October 8, 2012}}</ref> The store is one of Deephaven's most notable attractions.
