Mounds View is located in Ramsey County within the Twin Cities Metro Region where I-35W meets US 10. The town history describes "Strange and awesome mounds of sand and gravel, high enough to be seen from almost anywhere in the township and from much of Anoka County. Today, the mounds are nearly gone, sacrificed to the ravages of nature, the needs of this country during World War II when this area became an important small arms arsenal, and the thousands of loads of sand and gravel that have since been removed. Only a few small battered hills remain to remind us of our name."
Mounds View is inside the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area.
