Minnesota City
David M. Eckert
When Minnesota City was established on Sunday, May 9, 1852 the founders were interested in having it become the state capitol of Minnesota. The city has many historic firsts for this region. They include: the oldest city in Winona County, the first school (subscription), the first public school, the first school district (1852), the first church (First Baptist Church 1852), the first post office (1852), the first bridge, the first horticulture experiment in the state (apples), the first general merchandise store, the first blacksmith shop, the first horse shoeing, the first justice of the peace, the first representative to the legislature, the first sawmill, and the first wheat crop. Source - The History of Winona County, 1857. In view of the recent flooding that took place in the city, this honor would be a good morale booster for its citizens.
