History

Faribault is regarded as one of the most historic communities in Minnesota, with settlement and commercial activity predating Minnesota’s establishment as a U.S. Territory. Capital Saint Paul Largest city Minneapolis Area  Ranked 12th  - Total 87,014 sq mi (225,365 km²)  - Width 250 miles (400 km)  - Length 400 miles (645 km)  - % water 8. ... Minnesota Territory was an organized territory of the United States from March 3, 1849 to May 11, 1858, when Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd state. ...


Prior to 1745, the area was primarily occupied by the Wahpekute band of Dakotah. Shortly thereafter, the tribe was driven south after several clashes with the Ojibwe over territory. A Sioux warrior (Karl Bodmer) Funeral scaffold of a Sioux chief (Karl Bodmer) Horse racing of the Sioux Indians (Karl Bodmer) The Sioux (IPA ) are a Native American people. ... For other uses of Chippewa, see Chippewa (disambiguation). ...


The city’s namesake, Alexander Faribault, was the son of a French-Canadian fur trader and a woman of the Dakotah tribe. He is credited with fueling most of the early settlement activity in the area beginning in 1826, when he established a fur trading post on the banks of the Cannon River. By 1834, the trading post had grown in popularity and been relocated to the Straight River, one mile upstream of its junction with the Cannon River, the site of modern-day Faribault. The young Alexander Faribault used his knowledge of Dakotah language and culture to improve relations with the displaced Wahpekute and even helped the tribe to resettle in the area. This relationship was instrumental in ensuring the success of the trading post and allowing safe travel to the area for settlers. The Cannon River flows from Tetonka Lake near Waterville to Red Wing in the U.S. state of Minnesota, where it joins the Mississippi River. ...


The aptly-named Alexander Faribault House was built in 1853 by Alexander Faribault at a cost of $4,000. The house is considered the oldest framed structure in the area, and still stands in its original location near the southeastern edge of Faribault’s historic downtown district.


The years that followed the construction of this first building brought unprecedented growth, development, and economic prosperity for the young settlement. Spurred by the completion of the area’s first steam-powered sawmill in early 1854, the year that followed would bring Faribault from a sleepy settlement of 20 buildings to a bustling town with more than 250 buildings. Historians attribute Faribault’s impressive growth during this period to a number of important milestones which arrived between 1855 and 1856, including the creation of new roads connecting to other settlements and trading posts in Iowa and Minnesota Territory, the new availability of mail service, and the rapid construction of schools and churches. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... Minnesota Territory was an organized territory of the United States from March 3, 1849 to May 11, 1858, when Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd state. ...


The City of Faribault was platted in 1855 and granted a home-rule charter in 1872.

Interstate 35 runs along the western edge of town and currently there are three exits. This fact, at first blush, does not seem too unique as standard truck stops, various restaurants and motels serve passing motorists. However, prior to completion of I-35 traffic was routed directly through town which generated significant revenue to many retailers that literally had a major highway running right past their doors. In approximately 1975, Interstate 35 was finally completed and all traffic finally started to move around (and not through) Faribault. On that same corridor through town, the White Sands Swimming Pool operated from 1964 to 1977. Currently, only weeds and abandoned infrastructure remain where Minnesota's largest outdoor swimming pool once stood.
