The city of Hilltop, Minnesota is a tiny city located just north of Minneapolis. Encompassing an area of just 0.12 square miles, Hilltop is one of the most unique cities surrounding the Twin Cities metro. Interestingly enough, Hilltop is entirely surrounded by the larger city of Columbia Heights. Home to about 750 residents, Hilltop began as a dairy farm and over the years saw expansion. The growth was significant enough that water and sewer facilities had to be constructed to support the population. The result was Hilltop’s incorporation as a city and subsequent status as a tiny city surrounded by a larger one. Residents enjoy the city’s close-knit community and proud history. While Hilltop relies heavily on its neighbor, Columbia Heights, for its social services including police and fire protection, it is a community that thrives on its small-town feel.
