Hale is a neighborhood (within the larger Nokomis community) near the southern edge of Minneapolis. It lies south of Minnehaha Creek, north of 55th Street, east of Chicago Avenue, and west of Cedar Avenue. It is a part of city council ward 11 [3] and state legislative district 63B. [4]
The neighborhood takes its name from the local public school, which is in turn named after American Revolutionary War soldier Nathan Hale. Hale Elementary is a K-2 school with a pre-K program for 4-year-olds. [5] Most of the homes in the area were built in the 1920s and 30s. The regional parks forming the neighborhood's north and east borders give the neighborhood a recreational heart.
Hale is one of three neighborhoods that banded together to form Hale Page Diamond Lake Community Association (HDPL). [6] 44°54′34″N93°15′21″W / 44.9094°N 93.2557°W [7]
