Minnetrista is a city in Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States.[3] It is located about 23 miles (37 km) west of Minneapolis. Although it is part of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, the largely rural Minnetrista has agricultural activity involving corn, soybeans, hay, and horses. In addition to farmland and woods, the city is home to several lakes, including part of Lake Minnetonka, the state's ninth-biggest. The city's population was 6,384 at the 2010 census.[4] Minnetrista's name originates in the Dakota language, in which minne means "water" and trista means "crooked".[5]
