Other cities info:
Eagan (/ˈiːɡən/EE-gən) is a suburban city in Dakota County, Minnesota. The city is south of Saint Paul and lies on the south bank of the Minnesota River, upstream from the confluence with the Mississippi River. Eagan and its nearby suburbs form the southernmost part of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area. Eagan's population was 68,855 at the time of the 2020 census. The city's influence in the region grew when Northwest Airlines (now Delta Air Lines) and West Publishing (now Thomson Reuters) established their headquarters there. Eagan was named for Patrick Eagan, who was the first chairman of the town board of supervisors. He farmed a 220-acre (0.89 km2) parcel of land near the present-day town hall. Eagan (born 1811) and his wife Margaret Twohy (born 1816) emigrated from Tipperary, Ireland to Troy, New York, where they married in 1843. They arrived in Mendotacirca 1853–54, before settling in the Eagan area.
