Carver County ( Images of
America ) |
| Located just southwest of the
Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Carver County was
established by the Minnesota Territorial Legislature in
1855. The Minnesota and the South Fork of the Crow Rivers
flow through this Big Woods county of Minnesota. Named after
explorer Capt. Jonathan Carver and built on a predominantly
agrarian culture, it boasts one of the richest farmlands in
the state. Arrival of the railroads resulted in prosperous
new industries and businesses and made it a popular resort
destination. In the 1890s, the abundance of dairy farms and
creameries earned it the nickname, the Golden Buckle of the
Dairy Belt. Many local farmers such as Andrew Peterson,
Wendelin Grimm, and Henry Lyman became nationally recognized
for their horticultural contributions and achievements.
Hundreds of vintage photographs and postcards that depict
everyday life in Carver County through the 1950s were
collected and researched. This work is a tribute to the
citizens of Carver County, whose pride in their rich history
inspired this book." |
