History:
Polo Club Road in Independence traces its origins to the rural equestrian tradition of the area and its connection to the Twin City Polo Club, established in 1964. The road winds past expansive horse farms that grew around the club's grounds, highlighting the region’s long-standing affinity for horse sports. Though polo had been played in Minnesota as early as the 1920s by the U.S. Army at Fort Snelling, it wasn’t until the club settled here that the community became known as a bona fide “horse country”. Community traditions such as the annual Polo Classic fundraiser, running since the 1980s and raising funds for children’s charities, help anchor the legacy of polo on Polo Club Road. Over the decades, luxury estates and barn-laden acreages developed along the road, blending upscale living with rural equestrian heritage.
