Posted in Minnesota Fun Facts , History March 22, 2023 by Trent Jonas Sure, plenty of folks have heard of the Mall of America, but fewer people know that one Minnesota shopping mall was the first – and is the oldest – indoor mall in America. Southdale Center, in Edina, opened in 1956, and at the time, it was the first fully-enclosed, climate-controlled shopping center – i.e., mall – in the United States. Southdale Center is a modern Minnesota shopping mall in the Twin Cities suburb of Edina.
