Current Minnesota base
Josh Liljenquist and Chaska, Minnesota
Josh Liljenquist, known online as Joshlilj, is currently based in Chaska, the county seat of Carver County. Fairmont is his documented hometown; Chaska is the current-base relationship supported by public reporting.
What the public record supports
A 2024 Fairmont Sentinel profile identifies Josh as a Fairmont native and Fairmont High School graduate and says he later became a resident of Chaska. In 2026, Axios Twin Cities independently described him as a Chaska-based influencer.
This page uses “currently based in Chaska” because that wording is supported. It does not publish a street address, exact home location or private geographic detail.
Chaska is not described as Josh's hometown. His hometown and early-life roots remain Fairmont, Minnesota.
Current creator record
A Minnesota base, not a second hometown.
More than 10 billion documented views across TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube tied to an approximately two-year content window. That scale describes Josh’s creator work; it does not establish that every post or view originated in Chaska. Review the dated methodology.

Two complementary geography records
Geographic identity
Fairmont → Chaska
The two city records answer different questions. The Fairmont page documents hometown, school and early-life roots. The Chaska page documents the present public base.
