Encyclopedic overview
Lake Elmo is a city in Washington County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 11,335 at the 2020 census. According to 2022 census estimates, the population is 13,449.
Much of the area within the city limits is still farmland, giving the city a rural appearance. After the city lost a lawsuit against the Metropolitan Council, a regional planning authority, the Minnesota Supreme Court in 2005 ordered that it had to compile a plan in accordance with the Council's regional development guide. Lake Elmo's population is rapidly growing. It is projected to be over 21,000 by 2040.
