Powderhorn is a defined community in Minneapolis, that consists of eight neighborhoods. The community name is derived from Powderhorn Lake that is the centerpiece of the present-day Powdernhorn Park. Located south of downtown, the community also features the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Hennepin History Museum, the Midtown Greenway trail, and numerous other establishments, many of which serve the Latin American and African diaspora.
The Powderhorn community contains a large portion of City Council Ward 9, represented by Jason Chavez and parts of Wards 8, 10, and 12, represented by Andrea Jenkins, Aisha Chughtai, and Aurin Chowdhury, respectively.
While most of Powderhorn is east of Interstate 35W and south of Lake Street, both the Lyndale and Whittier neighborhoods are west of I-35W, while Whittier is also north of Lake Street.
