Communities Elko New Market
Small town culture. Emerging possibilities.
Elko was initially a railway village in 1858. New Market was named for the town near Cambridge, England though it was first named Jackson until its establishment about the same time. In 2006, the cities merged, and in the last decade, Elko New Market has been the fastest growing city in Minnesota.
A prosperous community with small-town charm and progressive goals, it is located off of I-35 just south of the Twin Cities. Shopping, recreational opportunities, and plenty of entertainment venues make it a great place to call home.
