Perhaps no city was ever more favorably and fortunately located than Maple Lake. Maple Lake is what may be termed an ideal agricultural, home, church and school town.
Since 1990, both population and business activity have been growing rapidly. Contributing factors are: renewed spurt of industrial and commercial developments and the in-migration of population because of the community's proximity to Minneapolis and, to a lesser extent, to St. Cloud.
The 1990's have included the expansion of Jude Industrial Park to the west allowing the expansion of Sun Patio/Warrior Boats, Cedar Lake Engineering as well as sites for new industries like Rhino Roto Mold, Elletson Manufacturing, Product Technologies Inc., Dental Resources Inc., KWM Manufacturing and H & H Sports. Residential development was spurred by the platting and development of the Donald C. Jude Addition and the Donald & Victor Jude Addition both located in northcentral Maple Lake. Commercial development in the 1990's included Roger's Amoco, Security State Bank branch facility, H & H Sports Shop, VFW, and the American Legion. Plans are currently underway to accommodate additional residential, commercial and industrial development.
