A Little History of Victoria, MN

This community is believed to have first been settled by Michael Diethelm, who set up a shelter for his wife and two children in 1851 near the present day St. Victoria Church. The community was named after the church, which was built on 30 acres of land north of Lake Bavaria in 1857.

Connections to steamboats from St. Paul helped to bring supplies to the area, helping to further grow the community. Victoria’s rich soil also helped to attract farmers from all over.
