A Rich History and Exciting Future!
Welcome to Faribault, a dynamic, growing community of over
23,000 residents situated at the confluence of the Cannon and
Straight Rivers in Southern Minnesota. Located along Interstate
35, just 25 minutes south of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, our
community enjoys the advantages and conveniences of being
near a major metropolitan center while providing the livability of
small town Minnesota. Faribault offers an atmosphere of planned,
well-managed growth against a rich historical backdrop.
Alexander Faribault, an early fur-trader and
entrepreneur, founded the town site in 1852 to take
advantage of its scenic qualities, abundant resources,
and strategic location. In the 1860's, Faribault gained national
recognition as an educational and religious center due in large
measure to the efforts of Bishop Henry Whipple in developing a
system of interrelated churches and schools. This, along with the
establishment of the highly acclaimed State Academies for the
Blind and Deaf, led Faribault to be known as "Athens of the
West". As the community flourished, a number of homes,
churches, and public buildings were constructed with
outstanding architectural design features. As a result, Faribault
is blessed to contain more than 40 individual properties that are
listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Today, Faribault boasts a vibrant business community, excellent
educational opportunities, and a wide variety of recreational and
cultural offerings, combining to make the community a great
place to visit, work and live.

The city of Faribault is built along the
banks of the Straight and Cannon
Rivers, two tributaries that played a
vital role in our city's early
development. These rivers, along
with the opportunity to trade fur with
the Dakota Sioux Indians are what brought Alexander Faribault to this
region in 1826. Faribault built a log cabin and established a fur trading
post at the foot of the Cannon River. In 1844 Faribault moved the post to a
location where the Straight River flows into the Cannon, the present site of
the City of Faribault.
In 1853 Faribault built the first frame house in Rice County for
$4,000.00. Now known as the Alexander Faribault House, it still stands in
its original location and is open for tours. Being a generous man,
Alexander Faribault provided the land and funds for the first school and
church, two mills and the first manufacturing facilities. Settlers were soon
attracted to this booming city, later named the Rice County Seat. Rice
County was named for Henry Rice, one of Minnesota's first two Senators.
Faribault reviews its history with pride, boasting the oldest frame
house in Southern Minnesota and the Younger brothers' trial. Faribault is
home to the world famous "Tilt-A-Whirl", Faribault Woolen Mills, Faribault
Foods Butter Kernel vegetables and Bruce Smith, Minnesota's only
Heisman Trophy winner. Faribault is home to Shattuck-St. Mary's School
and the Minnesota State Academies for the Blind and Deaf. These historic
and beautiful schools can be found within blocks of each other and the
historic downtown, which features distinctive architecture of the turn of
the last century.

Snow Removal
1.) Move parked cars off city streets after it snows and until the street has been
plowed curb to curb. 2.) Avoid travel on city streets when there is a major
snowstorm.
The city’s goal is to have all streets plowed and sanded within 18-hours of a
snowfall. This begins after midnight, depending on the timing of the snowfall.
The goal is to have all primary routes plowed by 7:00am. Announcements of
snow emergencies are usually given after two inches of snow on the radio at
96FM, 920 AM, FCTV Cable Channel 8, and at 333-0361.
Downtown Snow Removal
Parking on Central Avenue is prohibited between the hours of 2am-5am, yearround. Blue lights located at intersections are turned on when downtown
snowplowing and hauling efforts begin. If you have questions, please call 3330361. Violation of snow emergency rules can result in vehicles being tagged and
towed.
Winter Sidewalk Safety
It is expected that property owners remove all snow and ice each day after
measurable snowfall, sleet, or freezing rain to prevent injuries from slip and fall
accidents. Faribault city code, section 25.41, authorizes the Police Department
to enforce this ordinance.
Snowmobile Ordinance
