History

The Minneapolis Club was founded in 1883 by leading Minnesota business and civic leaders, including John Pillsbury and Charles Loring. In its first 25 years, the club changed locations three times. It has been headquartered in its present location, however, since its opening in 1909.

Throughout its history, the club has played host to prominent individuals visiting the Twin Cities.{{cite news | archive-date = 2012-11-10 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121110073600/http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B01E3DB1538E233A2575AC0A9609C94639ED7CF | url-status = live | archive-date = 2012-11-10 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121110073609/http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E01E1DE143EE033A2575AC1A96F9C946897D6CF | url-status = live | archive-date = 2024-09-24 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240924132516/https://www.nytimes.com/1902/09/23/archives/carroll-d-wright-says-miners-will-lose-fight-also-reported-to-have.html | url-status = live | archive-date = 2024-09-24 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240924132407/https://www.nytimes.com/1909/11/13/archives/aldrich-asks-questions-also-talks-in-minneapolis-of-the-central.html | url-status = live
