Orono was originally part of Excelsior Township. In 1868, it became part of Medina Township. Residents received permission from Hennepin County to form the independent town of Orono in 1889. It was incorporated as a city in 1955.
On November 21, 2023, a Hennepin County Court found Orono in contempt for violating an injunctive relief order designed to safeguard the Long Lake Fire Department, its longstanding fire service provider. The court issued the order after Orono hired the Long Lake Fire Chief, attempted to take control of Long Lake Station 2, purchased a ladder truck Long Lake was considering, and asked the state legislator to forcibly transfer Long Lake's pensions to Orono to build its own fire department, while Long Lake remains contracted to serve Orono, Minnetonka Beach, and Medina. The contempt order was likely the first ever issued to a Minnesota municipality and resulted from the city willfully disobeying the provisions of the injunction prohibiting the recruitment of Long Lake firefighters and the use of Long Lake Station 2. The court also found that Mayor Dennis Walsh and Fire Chief James Van Eyll colluded to intimidate a Long Lake firefighter in violation of the order and fined the city for its violations.
