Welcome to Whittier
Whittier is an active urban residential neighborhood just south of
downtown Minneapolis. It was home to many of Minneapolis'
historical founders, including the first Mayor of
Minneapolis, Dorilus Morrison, and the Pillsbury and Washburn
families. The neighborhood's notoriety and distinction
is linked
to the internationally-known Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) and the Children's Theatre, and a thriving stretch of Nicollet
Avenue known as "Eat Street" due to its diverse restaurants and groceries. The neighborhood's 15,000 residents represent 30 countries,
and over 25 language groups. The Whittier neighborhood is a historic and colorful
mix of artistic culture and ethnic cultures. It is truly "The International Neighborhood," where diversity becomes community. The Whittier
Alliance,the officially recognized Citizen Participation organization for the neighborhood, works with residents, businesses and governmental
agencies to further the common interests of the Whittier neighborhood. Learn more about Whittier and the Alliance
