Mankato was inhabited by Dakota Sioux when Parsons K. Johnson and Henry Jackson staked claim to the city in 1852. Mankato was originally named “Mahkato,” meaning greenish-blue earth, by early inhabitants, but legend says it may have been accidentally changed due to a typographical error made by a clerk.

Mankato was settled at the confluence of the Minnesota and Blue Earth Rivers. The land was purchased in a treaty between the Dakota and the government. In 1862, the government broke this treaty, which led to the U.S.-Dakota Conflict of 1862. That conflict resulted in the largest mass execution in U.S. history, the site of which is commemorated by the statue of the Buffalo at Reconciliation Park (100 E. Main Street, F-5).

In 1880, Mankato was the fourth largest city in Minnesota with a population of 5,500. Today, more than 50,000 people call Mankato home. North Mankato sits across the river from Mankato and was established in 1898.

Greater Mankato has many historical attractions that are must-sees for visitors. The Betsy-Tacy houses (332 & 333 Center Street, E-5) are a must for any lover of literature. Betsy’s house is the home of author Maud Hart Lovelace. Lovelace, whose books are set in Mankato, is the real-life character of Betsy. The Betsy-Tacy houses are National Literary Landmarks. Tours of both houses are available.

2012 Commemorates the 150th Anniversary of the Dakota conflict. There will be serveral events honoring the anniversary. For an up to date listing please check out our website at visitgreatermankato.com/dakotaconflict150.php

Old Main (301 S. 5th Street, F-5) is a must-see, especially for alumni of Minnesota State University, Mankato, formerly called Mankato State University. Old Main once sat at the center of the University before the campus expanded completely to the top of the hill.

The Hubbard House (606 S. Broad Street, F-5) was once described as one of the finest homes in Mankato. It had one of the first phones, indoor plumbing, electricity and the most modern conveniences of the time. It is a perfect example of Victorian-style architecture. Tours are available.

If you love historical buildings and old architecture, be sure to tour the City Center, where many historical buildings—such as the First National Bank (Ellerbe Building), Graif Building, Lasalle and Martin buildings—still stand. An interesting point about the original site of First National Bank (1 Civic Center Plaza, F-5), which is now surrounded by the Verizon Wireless Center and is known as the Ellerbe Room, is that it was designed by the famous architect Thomas Ellerbe. Legend has it that the infamous robber Jesse James considered robbing the bank, but it was too busy. He went on to Northfield, where he was later caught by police.

For more information on the history of the area, please visit:Blue Earth County Historical Society, 415 E. Cherry Street, Mankato, 507.345.5566, bechshistory.com
