==History==
Minnetonka Beach (Officially The Village of Minnetonka Beach) is located on the shores of Lake Minnetonka. Originally part of [[Excelsior, Minnesota|Excelsior Township]], Minnetonka Beach was the site of the Hotel Lafayette, which was built by the [[Minneapolis, Saint Paul, & Manitoba Railway]] (later part of the [[Great Northern Railway (U.S.)|Great Northern Railway]]) in 1882. In 1884, Minnetonka Beach was annexed by [[Medina, Minnesota|Medina Township]]. The community was incorporated as an independent village in 1894.<ref>Johnson, Fred. ''The Big Water''. Deep Haven Books, 2012. Pg. 122</ref>

After the Hotel Lafayette burned in 1897, a portion of the property became home to the Lafayette Club. The original clubhouse of the Lafayette Club was built in 1900 and burned in 1922. The current clubhouse was constructed in 1924.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.steamboatminnehaha.org/blog/index.php/minnehahas-connection-to-history-3/|title = Minnehaha's Connection to History (3/4) – Steamboat Minnehaha}}</ref>
