honor of the explorer, Jonathan Carver. The original coun ty seat was San Francisco Township. Voters moved the county seat to Chaska in 1856. Carver County is located approximately 30 miles west of Minneapolis, MN. The county encompasses an area of approximately 357 square miles. It contains 11 cities (Carver, Chanhassen, Chaska, Cologne, Hamburg, Mayer, New Germany, Norwood Young America, Victoria, Waconia, and Watertown) and 10 townships (Benton, Camden, Dahlgren, Hancock, Hollywood, Laketown, San Francisco, Watertown, Waconia and Young America). Part of the seven-county Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Carver County remains a blend of suburban and rural populations. The western portion of the county is rural and agriculture-based, and the eastern side of the county is comprised of rapidly growing suburbs. The 2015 population estimate for Carver County is 98,741, accord ing to U.S. Census estimates. The largest city in the c ounty, Chanhassen, had a 2015 estim ated population of 25,332. Chaska, the County Seat, followed closely behind with an estimated population of 25,199. The 2040 forecasts from the Metropolitan Council predict that Carver County will experience the highest population growth rate in the Twin Cities Metro Region into 2040, reaching a forecasted population of 161,020.
