PAST

The city of Emily began as a township, being named after Emily Lake. In November of 1905, Emily was platted and then incorporated in 1957. Emily came into existence due to the lumber business boom in the late 1890’s. During this time, lumbermen came into the area and set up communities in the surrounding areas, adding a post office in 1900.

PRESENT

Emily is located in Crow Wing County and is part of Minnesota’s “lake country”.   In the colder months, Emily is a small community of 829 residents. However, once the lakes thaw, this small town is bustling with activity. Residents and visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, such as boating, golfing, fishing, hunting, or hiking. Emily is a full service town with businesses ranging from convenience and grocery stores to restaurants, sporting goods and antique shops.
