History

Although Savage is considered a Twin Cities Metropolitan suburb, its roots go much deeper than many neighboring communities. The city's history is rich and varied, offering tales about a famous racehorse and its owner, the crash of an airplane flown by a famous pilot, and an industry fueled by the war effort.
