Tonka Bay was incorporated as a village on September 11, 1901 and has an interesting history. The city, which has an area of about one square mile, is located between the upper and lower bodies of Lake Minnetonka. It has shoreline on each side that gives Tonka Bay more Minnetonka shoreline than any other village of its size.
The village was, and still is, an assortment of neighborhoods widely varied in aspect and marketable real estate value, and contained several large estates at the turn of the century. Clay Cliffe, located across from City Hall, was built in 1890 and consisted of 28 acres. "Old Orchard," another historic home, was built about 1887 by John F. Wilcox, the first mayor of Tonka Bay.
