Raymond Minnesota Community Guide


Location:
Raymond Minnesota population sign Location of Raymond, Minnesota

Traveling west, just 12 miles from Willmar on Highway 23, is the vibrant small town of Raymond. It’s where you’ll find a safe neighborhood with a variety of fun and family-friendly recreational opportunities to keep residents active and healthy. In fact, it’s where two of the county’s largest recreational businesses are located—Tensen Marine and Apol’s Harley Davidson.

Raymond takes great pride in the fact that it has established such a well-rounded community. Don’t be surprised to find a cook-out or community picnic after church on Sunday or a patriotic celebration honoring the veterans who’ve fought for our country. The neighborhoods are not only friendly, but also safe for kids to race their bikes to one of the many parks. It’s hard to fully understand all of the reasons why “Everybody Loves Raymond” until you experience it for yourself!

Squire as postmaster; the second began in August 1889 when transferred from Croydon, with William H. Harris as first postmaster.
