==History==
The city of Mounds View is located in the former Mounds View Township, which was organized in 1858.<ref>{{cite book|last=Upham|first=Warren|title=Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance|url=https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog|year=1920|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society|page=[https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog/page/n456 437]}}</ref>  In 1958, 100 years after Minnesota became a state, the village of Mounds View was incorporated.  Post-World War II growth was partially fueled by the proximity of the Twin Cities Arsenal. 

The city is primarily residential, with several business parks and businesses located in Mounds View.  The bulk of businesses are located along the County Road 10 corridor, with most residential areas flanking it to the north and south.  Some of the businesses include [[Sysco|Sysco Distributing]] and Mermaid Entertainment & Event.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/mounds-view-mermaid/|title = Iconic Mounds View Mermaid Statue Removed}}</ref> Former notable businesses include [[Muldoon's|Muldoon's Off 10]] and [[Rose_Totino#Biography|Totino's]].

A petroleum pipeline exploded in Mounds View on July 8, 1986. Two-hundred people had to evacuate their homes and two people, a mother and her young daughter, were killed.  The [[Minnesota_Department_of_Public_Safety#Divisions|Minnesota Office of Pipeline Safety]] was created in 1987 in response to the tragedy.<ref>[https://dps.mn.gov/blog/Pages/20170713-blog-mnops-30.aspx Three decades of pipeline safety in Minnesota]. Minnesota Department of Public Safety blog, July 13, 2017.</ref>

In 1987, Mounds View became a [[Arbor_Day_Foundation#Tree_City_USA|Tree City USA]]-recognized Tree City. As of 2024, it is still a Tree City USA-recognized Tree City.<ref>Arbor Day Foundation. "Recognized Communities." https://www.arborday.org/programs/treecityusa/#recognizedSection. When Minnesota is chosen and "Mounds View" is searched, the number of years it has been recognized is returned.</ref>

In 2005, the Mounds View City Council voted to sell the city-owned golf course, "The Bridges of Mounds View," to [[Medtronic]], to become its new campus.<ref name="Bissen2013">{{cite book|author=Joe Bissen|title=Fore!

Prior to the passage of the [[Fair Housing Act of 1968]], [[racial covenants]] were used to exclude African Americans and other people of color from Mounds View. The unenforceable covenants remain in the deeds for over 500 houses. In June 2024, Mayor Zach Lindstrom announced a draft ordinance that would require property owners to discharge these covenants before sale.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.startribune.com/mounds-view-mayor-wants-his-city-to-be-the-first-to-require-discharge-of-racist-deed-language-before-home-sales/600374783/ |title=Mayor wants Mounds View to require that deeds be discharged of racist language before home sales |publisher=[[Star Tribune]] |accessdate=2024-06-22}}</ref>
