The population of Eagan was 64,206 at the 2010 census and currently ranks as Minnesota's 11th largest city.Originally a rural Irish farming community and "Onion Capital of the United States", Eagan became the eighth largest Minnesota city in the 2000 Census. The largest growth in Eagan took place following the relocation and expansion of Highway 77 along with the construction of the new six-lane bridge (with three northbound and three southbound lanes) over the Minnesota River in 1980 and also the completion of the final Interstate 35E freeway section southbound from Minnesota State Highway 110 in Mendota Heights to the area where it joins 35W in Burnsville in the mid-1980s. Its northern border is primarily along Interstate 494. Its southern border is about a mile south of Cliff Road. Its eastern border runs primarily along Minnesota State Highway 3. The western border runs primarily along the South bank of Minnesota River. Currently the fourth largest suburb in the metro area, Eagan is predominantly a commuter town of both Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

At one point in its past Eagan was known as the "Onion Capital of the World." It was around 1885 that farmers in the area began growing onions. The crops of onions thrived and residents began shipping large volumes of onions to numerous areas in the country. Eagan was able to keep this title until the 1930's when southern growers, plus a poor harvest ended their run.
