 The city of Nisswa Minnesota has seen great change since its
early days as a tiny logging settlement. Its resident populations of 1,400 is enlarged
seasonally by a wave of visitors and summer residents. Although the city can count some
industrial operations in its makeup, commercial services and tourism provide most of its
economic base. Downtown Nisswa and the nearby highway commercial area contain nearly all
of the goods and services desired by visitors and residents alike. Twenty-one area motels
contain nearly 600 motel units. As a popular Gull Lake area vacation spot for many years,
Nisswa has seen its tourism market grow to a multi-million dollar business. Many of the
state's major resorts are in the immediate area. Historic Grand View Lodge on Gull Lake
was built in 1921 and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
