History

CIDNA was founded in 1975 by residents responding to development that threatened the environmental integrity of area lakes and parks.

CIDNA was one of Minneapolis’s earliest neighborhood associations. It was a product of its times, part of the national grassroots movement that started in the 1960s as “protest” and by the 1970s had evolved into “program.”

Through the decades, the Cedar-Isles Dean Neighborhood Association has embraced the priorities of community-building and environmental protection.
