Guide to Good Thunder Minnesota

Good Thunder is a city in Blue Earth County, Minnesota, along the Maple River. Minnesota State Highway 66; and County Roads 1 and 10 are three of the main routes in the community. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.64 square miles (1.66 km²), all of it land. The elevation is 991 ft (302 m) above sea level.

GOOD THUNDER, the railway village of Lyra Township, platted in April 1871, and incorporated March 2, 1893, was named for a chief of the Winnebago, whose village was close east of this site. The ford of the Maple River here had been previously called Good Thunder's ford. He was a friend of the white people, and in 1862 refused the overtures of the Dakota for the Winnebago to join in their war against the white settlers. He died several years later on the Missouri River, after the removal of his tribe to Dakota.

It seems most probable that when this name was first chosen for the village, although the greater number of those naming it had in mind the Winnebago chief, others of them and many in the county supposed it to be for the Dakota scout, the exemplary Christian convert. Both these Indians certainly were very well known by the people of this township and county.
