Since 1973, all incorporated towns were declared officially to be ‘cities’ by an act of the Minnesota Legislature. Ever wonder about those ‘little cities’? This series of 100 waymarks will take you to all corners of the great state of Minnesota to visit the 100 smallest of the incorporated cities in the state. All have a great story to tell.
This is the 46th of 100 of the cities described in the book LITTLE MINNESOTA. Lake Henry was settled around 1855 and organized in 1869 took the name of a nearby lake of the same name. This lake name was received from the 1849 expedition to Pembina of Major Samuel Woods and Captain John Pope, whose route passed the north ends of Lakes David and Henry, named by their journals and maps, identifiable respectively as Lakes Henry and George of later maps.
Lake Henry has a long history of fielding outstanding amateur baseball teams, beginning with the founding of the Lakers in 1939. One former player and manager stated that ‘baseball is the heart and soul of the town / baseball keeps the town together’. Incorporated in 1913, the city is currently the home to 103 persons.
This series of waymarks is tuned to getting people to visit these wonderful small communities before they disappear completely. To validate your ‘find’, please post a photo of you with your GPS at the coordinates and please relate a little tidbit about what you learned about the town and its people that is not in this narrative or the book.
