Osseo

Are you dreaming of small-town charm? That's Osseo. Located between Maple Grove and Brooklyn Park along US Highway 169, this city of 0.7 square miles is home to about 2,500 residents.

Osseo is proud of its storied history and was given its current name in 1856. The iconic "hemispherical bottom" Osseo Water Tower, constructed in 1915, is listed on the national Register of Historic Places.

You won't want to miss Central Avenue, Osseo's thriving downtown area. Located along it are many unique shops and local restaurants, a Hennepin County Library and Boerboom Veterans Park.
