About
Hills, MN

Nestled in the southwestern corner of Minnesota, the City of Hills offers the perfect blend of small-town charm and modern convenience — just 20 minutes from Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Founded in 1890 at the historic junction of the Sioux City & Northern Railroad and the Cherokee & Sioux Falls Railroad, Hills carries a proud legacy of growth, connection, and community spirit. The city proudly bears the name of Fredrick C. Hills, president of the Sioux City & Northern Railroad, whose vision helped shape the town’s beginnings.

Today, Hills is a thriving, welcoming community where neighbors know each other, families put down roots, and traditions are celebrated year after year. From hometown events to friendly local businesses, Hills offers a lifestyle built on connection, involvement, and opportunity. One of the highlights of the year is Friendship Days, held the second weekend of June — a beloved celebration that brings the entire community together for fun, food, and festivities.

Whether you’re looking to build a life, raise a family, start a business, or enjoy a peaceful place to retire, Hills offers more than just a place to live — it offers a place to belong.
