History:  

EDINA, a city, originally part of Richfield Township until incorporated as a separate village on December 18, 1888. It was developed out of three different communities: the first, Richfield Mills, lying outside the boundaries of Edina, served as a trading center and the township seat; it had a gristmill and a store. The second a few miles west on Minnehaha Creek was Waterville Mills with a mill erected in 1856 and sold to Andrew Craik in 1869, a Scottish immigrant from Canada who renamed the enterprise Edina Mills, with a post office, 1881-1902. The third, Cahill Settlement, was established in the 1850s by Irish immigrants and retained a post office named Cahill for the period 1894-1902. The name was derived from the flour mill owned by Andrew and John Craik, who so named the mill in memory of their boyhood home, in or near Edinburgh, Scotland.
