Blaine - TPC Community
Blaine was first settled in 1862 by an Irish Immigrant named Phillip Laddy (near the current location of Laddie Lake.) Green Chambers, a former slave from Kentucky, became the town's first permanent resident in 1865. In 1877, the town split off from Anoka. Moses Ripley, the fist elected Chairman of the town supervisors, offered the name of Blaine for the town in honor of James G. Blaine, a senator and three-time presidential candidate from Maine, Ripley's home state. By the year 1880, Blaine’s population had reached 128.
Due to the area's sandy soil and abundant wetlands, Blaine was a prime hunting area and not suited to large farms. It's growth was slow until after WWII when it became attractive for affordable suburban housing. Blaine’s population went from 1,694 in 1950 to 20,640 in 1970. Within the last 20 years, excellent highway access to both Minneapolis and St. Paul has helped housing development in all price ranges. By 1997, the population was over 44,000 people. In recent years, the addition of two major sports venues, the national soccer complex and the TPC golf course, has further broadened Blaine's appeal.
