Forty minutes southwest of Minneapolis on Highway 169, Jordan sits along the Minnesota River with historic Water Street storefronts and a pace of life that feels intentionally calm. Antique shops, apple orchards, and a local winery make for easy weekend plans, while the Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area offers miles of trails right outside your door. For something more memorable, Minnesota's Largest Candy Store sits right next to the recreation area entrance, which says a lot about Jordan's personality. The city traces its roots to 1853, when a sawmill called Holmes Mill gave this riverside spot its start before it was eventually renamed after the Jordan River in Palestine.
