The name comes from the Dakota Indian
language and means first born son. You may know Chaska, however, as
the site of the world-class
Hazeltine National
Golf Club, scene of the 1991 U.S. Open Golf Championship and the
2002 PGA Championship. Population doubled in the 70's but the city
would like "to keep it small," as in small town rather than the
50,000-person variety. Population at present is around 15,000. The
city fathers do, on the other hand, encourage business growth and
there is already a fair-sized industrial park on the outskirts of
town. This is seen as broadening the tax base, providing jobs and
making possible the purchase of such amenities as the new $13
million community center. Average home price is around $155,000
plus.
