IN CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Welcome to
C nty W
elcome to Benton County! Whether you are looking for a place to plant your roots or a place to pass some time, Benton County is here for you. Our modern world often has us looking for opportunities to socialize and places we can find rest and solitude. Both can be easily found in Benton County. For those seeking the bright lights and big city experience, destinations like Sauk Rapids, Sartell and St. Cloud await with plenty of opportunities to Troy Heck gather, shop and socialize. These metro areas offer busy workplaces, thriving neighborhoods to call home, and well-designed roads to get you where you want to go. City parks provide ample opportunity for recreation year-round. Retail outlets, restaurants and bars await you on the major thoroughfares and in neighborhood locations. Arts, community festivals, cultural events and youth programing offer a variety of ways residents and visitors alike may pass their time in these urban centers. For those hoping to find rest and solitude, Benton County has room to roam. A short drive from the metropolitan areas brings into focus the agricultural legacy and future of the county. Thousands of acres of Benton County farmland each year produce food for the people of the area, jobs for those employed on the farms, and peace for those who live on or visit the land. A variety of private and public places exist for those who wish to access the quieter side of the area. Places to fish, hunt, hike, bike, walk, golf and camp are all easily found in Benton County. Dotting the open spaces of Benton County are many great small communities. The cities of Foley, Rice and Gilman and the rest of the county’s towns are jewels just waiting to be discovered. These close-knit cities and towns are excellent places to find that special experience that is life in a small town. Complementing all these resources and amenities are the quality schools, responsive governments, active faithbased communities and dedicated community organizations who work to make this area prosperous and welcoming. As you work to find your balance of solitude and socialization, we hope you too will come to see that Benton County offers the best of both worlds in central Minnesota.

Sauk Rapids has five main off-road recreational trails used for biking, hiking, rollerblading and cross-country skiing.
Recreational Trails
Ox Cart Trail is the most popular city trail. It is a paved trail that travels along the banks of the Mississippi River and through four city parks and is 2.18 miles long. The trail begins at Southside Park and goes through Sauk Rapids Lions Sunset Park heading north along River Avenue and into Municipal Park. The trail continues north and goes through Island View Park ending at Fischer’s Garden Mobile Park where the road connects back up with North Benton Drive and leads to Sartell. This trail roughly follows a portion of the historic Red River Oxcart Trail that was used in pioneer days to move supplies and trade goods between St. Paul to Pembina, N.D. and into Canada. The convoys of wooden two-wheeled carts pulled by oxen could be heard coming five miles away, long before they were seen. The large wheels on the carts held in place with leather hide material, let out a very loud screeching noise that traveled far, some of these convoys were 200 carts long. This means of transportation and Mayhew Creek historic lively tradition slowly died away as the Park Trail railroads expanded their lines. is the most recently completed trail in the city. Prairie Lane Trail and Eastern Star It is located in Mayhew Trail are paved trails that can be used Creek Park north of the high jointly by crossing 18th Street North. school and is 1.1 miles long. Prairie Lane trail winds among four storm There are two loops, water-holding ponds and is beautifully one going around the landscaped and has benches and sledding hill and one appropriate lighting. Across 18th Street around the perimeter of the North. The Eastern Star Trail is also paved park. These are crushed and winds through a complex wetland that aggregate at this time but may be paved is very unique. The trail ends at Eastern Star in the future. Park that provides playground equipment and a small picnic shelter. Rotary Trail is a crushed aggregate nature trail originally constructed by the Great River Rotary of Sauk Rapids and Sartell. The trail meanders through a wooded wetland complex northwest of Bob Cross Park to Bob Cross Nature Preserve. This trail has boardwalks and observation outlooks and is quite secluded. Church Hill Heights Trail was constructed in 2001 within the circle development of Church Hill Heights. Garden Brook Trail is another inner development trail that borders a wetland.

There’s always something happening in Foley, and we’re excited to see some big changes coming in 2022 and 2023. Beginning later this year, we will break ground on our ambitious wastewater project. Our current wastewater pond system is at capacity and we’re no longer able to grow. Our wastewater treatment facility plan is a serious upgrade to our old pond system. The plan includes running a pipe from Foley to the regional wastewater treatment facility in St. Cloud. Once completed, this solution will allow us to grow as a city by adding new homes and businesses. In 2022, MnDOT will begin improving 13.5 miles of Highway 23 from Foley to Milaca. The project will run east from Broadway Avenue in Foley. The project includes a new roundabout at Eighth Avenue and Penn Street, pedestrian multi-use trails and overhead street lighting. The overall goal is to improve safety for drivers and pedestrians as well as access to Highway 23 within city limits. City staff has worked tirelessly on both of these projects for several years, and we are excited to see these plans coming together. Here are a few more things you should know about Foley. The city of Foley is a thriving rural community in central Minnesota. You’ll find us at the crossroads of Highway 23 and 25, a short drive from St. Cloud and one hour north of Minneapolis and south of the northern lakes area of Brainerd. Foley is the perfect spot for people looking for small-town living with big city convenience. Our roots go back to the lumber barons and the railroad expansion of the 1800s. Foley is the Benton County seat. Our diversified economic base, a strong industrial and manufacturing sector, excellent schools, and many area recreational activities make Foley an excellent choice whether you are looking to open a business, raise a family or a new place to call home. We’re the home of Foley Fun Days every June. We offer three city parks with playgrounds, ball fields and park shelters, perfect for family gatherings. We also have an outdoor municipal swimming pool, golf course and walking trails. With so much to offer, Foley is a great place to hang your hat.

60th STREET NE
The county seat is at Foley. Originally, the seat was at Sauk Rapids, then moved to Watab in 1856, and back to Sauk Rapids in 1859. A move was started to transfer the county seat to Foley, causing much rivalry between the towns of Foley and Sauk Rapids. An election was held in 1901. The results favored moving the seat to Foley by a vote of 1,284 to 788. The present courthouse was built in 1902 and 1903. Additions were built in 1974 and 1981 and the interior has been remodeled.

HISTORY OF
The Foley Brothers The city of Foley traces its roots back to the 19th century lumber barons and the four Foley brothers who settled in Benton County in the late 1800s. The brothers originally came from Lanark in eastern Ontario, Canada. Their Irish immigrant family made Lanark their home during the second administration of President Andrew Jackson during the turbulent 1830s. Michael Foley was the first brother to come to Minnesota. He arrived in 1870 and immediately saw the huge economic opportunities Minnesota had to offer. He was catapulted into the lumber industry through his business contacts with James J. Hill, the empire builder. Michael later returned to Lanark to persuade his brothers, Thomas, Timothy, and John to join him in seeking their fortune in the Land of Sky-tinted Water. They agreed and the four brothers formed a partnership that would last a lifetime.
Lumber Barons and Railroads The Foley brothers bought 80 acres of land in Gilmanton Township and set up a logging camp and steam sawmill at the site of the present-day village along with other camps throughout Benton County.The brothers contracted with the Great Northern Railroad to cut the white oak trees in the surrounding area into lumber. The sawmill produced high-grade lumber for bridge timbers and frames for railway cars. Second-grade oak was made into railway ties. Wood from the Foley mill helped to build the railroad, which extended through the logging camp westward from St. Cloud in 1882. To supply the needs of the lumber and railroad workers, businesses moved to the camp and set up shop. By 1898, the Foley brothers filed the original plat of the village and the economy boomed. A hotel was built and stores opened. A The Benton County Courthouse. bank, newspaper, drug store, livery stable, meat market, machinery dealer, cafes and saloons lined the streets. By the beginning of the 20th century, the supply of big logs from the heavy timber of Benton County came to an end. Though the big trees were gone and logging ended, there was still an unlimited supply of trees ready to be manufactured into wood products that were much in demand.

Foley
New Industry John Foley foresaw the end of the logging and sawmill business and made plans for a new wood industry in Foley. He donated several acres of his land for new businesses. Three mills sprung up south of the railroad tracks. These mills, or pail factories, became known as the Wood and Stave Mills and Heading Mills. The new mills manufactured wood staves for pails, barrels and wood boxes of all sizes. Ash and basswood were in great demand and was the most suitable for making pails and barrels. Oakwood was used extensively in making whiskey kegs and beer barrels, which were used for shipping liquor and beer. At the time, every saloon served tap beer and sold whiskey in bottles from the kegs. Wood barrels of various sizes were used to ship everything from flour, salt, coffee, fruit, vinegar and groceries. By March 21, 1900, when the population was 172, the community was incorporated as a village. It was named for John Foley, whose many generous contributions had helped to build the town. Benton County Seat On March 4, 1901, the citizens of Foley circulated a petition to be presented to the county commissioners pledging $12,000 to build a new courthouse and move the Benton County offices from Sauk Rapids to Foley. John Foley deposited $12,500 in the Foley Bank to cover the pledges and other costs of the new courthouse. The election took place in June, and it was reported there were 788 votes for keeping the county seat at Sauk Rapids and 1,284 votes for moving it to Foley. By the time Foley became the Benton County Seat, lumbering had decreased in importance in the area. The surrounding land was soon cleared and made into farms. The region, once referred to as oak country, became dairy country, and the businesses of Foley, which had served for the lumber industry, now served the farmers.

HISTORY
In early history of Benton County, the area of Langola Township encompassed the land around the present-day city of Rice to Royalton. The land was referred to as the “Sand Prairie” by the early explorers. During this early history timeline, the area from Sauk Rapids to Fort Ripley was being built up as it was part of the Woods Trail, later to be called the Minnesota military road. Fort Ripley needed supplies, and the supplier was a man by the name of George T. Rice. George Rice saw opportunities arising and moved to Little Falls from St. Paul. Here, he traded in produce and cattle, supplying Fort Ripley for three years until in 1862 when he Rice Municipal Band moved to Sherburne County.

Sauk Rapids
his ry
In 1850, Sauk Rapids consisted of oak, maple and basswood trees. In 1851, the first home was built by W.H. Wood; it was a large mansion named Linden Terrace. Other settlers followed and the town was named Sauk Rapids after the rapids just below the mouth of the Sauk River. Soon a general store was built, then a hotel and a large jail. In 1856, the county seat moved to Watab, then returned to Sauk Rapids in 1859. A new courthouse was built, but in 1897, the seat moved to Foley where it currently resides. In 1917, the courthouse burned. The first settlers organized a Congregational church that was soon followed by Methodist, Episcopalian and Lutheran churches. The first paper outside of St. Paul was the Sauk Rapids Frontiersman. It started in 1854. In 1876 the first bridge was built, but then destroyed later in 1876. It was rebuilt in 1879. A flour mill was erected in 1875, then destroyed in 1886. In 1874, Sauk Rapids was the end of the line for the railroad. All the settlers from as far away as the upper Red River Valley brought their produce here to ship it. A six-horse stage coach made bi-weekly trips between St. Cloud and Crow Wing. The first school was built in 1886. Until 1886, Sauk Rapids was one of the most important cities in Minnesota. It stood a good chance of becoming even moreso, but on April 14 at approximately 4 p.m. a cyclone struck the town. Everything in the path of the tornado was demolished. It swept through the heart of the city, wiping out all the stores. In Sauk Rapids alone, 44 were killed and several hundred wounded. This event was a great set-back for the city, but today
Main Street 1964
it is evident Sauk Rapids has recovered from this event. Today, Sauk Rapids is full of life and growing more each year. It has ample amounts of opportunity for everyone and continues to be on the cutting edge of development. History courtesy of https://www.ci.sauk-rapids.mn.us.
