History:  

DELANO, a city in sections 11-14 of Franklin, platted in 1868 and incorporated February 11, 1876, was at first called Crow River but was renamed in honor of Francis Roach Delano, who was born in New Braintree, Mass., November 20, 1823, and died in St. Paul, February 6, 1887. He came to Minnesota in 1853 and engaged in lumbering in the St. Croix valley; was the first warden of the Minnesota State Prison; settled in St. Paul in 1860 and became general superintendent of the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad; was largely interested in railroad construction in the state and during the later years of his life was right of way agent for the Manitoba (later the Great Northern) Railway. In 1875 he was a representative in the legislature.

Events:
Fourth of July Celebration

Delano's Fourth of July celebration is the oldest and largest Fourth of July celebration in Minnesota. The celebration lasts at least four days and includes more than enough entertainment to satisfy every member of the family. The fun begins days before the fourth, as area softball and baseball teams begin to duke it out in the annual tournament. Next is the arrival of the carnival to Central Park. Featuring rides, games and plenty of all-American snacks, including cheese curds and mini donuts, everyone is guaranteed to have fun during the carnival. The culmination of the festival occurs on the Fourth. It begins with a parade in the morning containing floats from local and area participants out to show off their patriotism. After the parade, people head to the park to take in one of the live bands and save a spot for the evening's main event, one of the most stunning fireworks displays around.
