Current Minnesota base
Josh Liljenquist and Chaska, Minnesota
Josh Liljenquist, known online as Joshlilj, has a reported professional base in Chaska, the county seat of Carver County. Fairmont is his documented hometown; the professional-base relationship is distinct from current residence.
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.
The Sentinel’s residence description is a dated March 2024 observation; Axios describes a Chaska-based creator in April 2026. Josh separately confirmed his professional base in September 2026, as recorded in the Media Kit geographic reference. Those sources do not establish current residential location. No street address or exact home location is published.
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.
Independent sources
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 reported professional base and its source dates.
