• <br />Anoka County Multi- Jurisdictional <br />All Hazards Mitigation Plan <br />and it bore the name Spring Lake Park. The first election of village officers was held in January <br />1954. At the time of incorporation, the population was approximately 960, with an incorporated <br />area of 1,280 acres. <br />Spring Lake Park is noted not only locally but also through out the State of Minnesota and <br />possibly elsewhere as the City with the red, white and blue water towers. The City of Spring <br />Lake Park had a city celebration that began in 1972 with many activities scheduled around the <br />beach at Spring Lake. The city celebration ceased in 1974. In 1975 the City Council <br />commissioned a group of community residents to rejuvenate the community celebration for the <br />Bicentennial in 1976. The commission worked very hard and raised enough funds to have the <br />water tower painted after "Old Glory" with stars and stripes in red, white and blue. After painting <br />the water tower, the committee decided to use it as a theme for the community celebration. <br />Since that time, the celebration has been referred to as "Tower Days." <br />3.1.1 Jurisdiction Environment - Geography and Climate <br />Anoka County Location <br />Area <br />Elevation <br />SQ.
