Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Lauderdale, MN

Lauderdale is a city in Ramsey County, Minnesota, covering only 0.42 square miles, all of it land, making it one of the smallest cities in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

Lauderdale is one of only two Twin Cities suburbs that are geographically adjacent to both Minneapolis and Saint Paul, the other being Roseville, and it is also bordered by Falcon Heights.

The community was originally named Rose Hill and was part of the larger Rose Township, named after the trader Isaac Rose, which once included parts of what are now Roseville, Falcon Heights, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, St. Anthony Village and Lauderdale.

Rose Hill's first school opened in 1871, on land donated by Heman Gibbs, of Gibbs Farm Museum fame.

The Village of Lauderdale was incorporated on January 21, 1949, and was named after William Henry Lauderdale, a prominent Twin Cities businessman who had donated land to Rose Hill Township for a school and park.

Lauderdale had a population of 2,271 at the 2020 census, and at the 2010 census it had 1,130 households.

Lauderdale Community Park, at the southwest corner of Roselawn Avenue and Fulham Street, offers a picnic pavilion, tennis courts, basketball courts, a small dog park, a playground, a ball field, an illuminated hockey rink and pleasure rink, and a sledding hill.

Skyview Park is another of the city's parks, and part of Luther Seminary's lower campus in the city lies within the Lauderdale Nature Area.

Lauderdale is served by the Roseville Area Schools district, the same district that serves Roseville, Falcon Heights, Little Canada and Maplewood.
