Frank W. Halsted was one of the first notable early settlers in Minnetrista. He built a cottage on Lake Minnetonka on the bay that would eventually be his namesake- Halsteds Bay. Frank Halsted was a Captain in the Navy and left to fight in the Civil War. He returned with Distinction from the Navy and built a larger home and became a Justice of the Peace and later solemnized the first marriage in Minnetrista. Fast forward 160 years and Minnetrista is a thirty square mile city with a population of around 7,000 people.
