For history buffs
St. Cloud began as three separate settlements on the Mississippi
River which were founded by three extremely different men.
One of the town sites was begun by a former slave owner who
was involved in the fur trade, bringing slave-owning Southerners
to the area. A second settlement was begun by a professional
town-entrepreneur who attracted Protestants opposed to slavery.
The third site was intended for a sawmill which drew Catholics
from Germany. In spite of the differences, the three settlements
eventually merged into one city in 1856. The name “St. Cloud”
was chosen to reflect the area’s French heritage, being named
after a suburb of Paris, France. Soon after, granite deposits were
discovered and area granite companies began shipping granite to
sites all over the world. Today, in addition to granite production,
the area is a center for education and retail, and is one of the
state’s popular destinations for recreation and tourism.

Summerland
Central Minnesota is a theater of the seasons.
Spring is alive with color, from crab apple trees
to tulips and daffodils. The summers are warm
and balmy with quickly passing thunderstorms.
Our autumns are crisp and clear with abundant
fall foliage colors. Even our winters are beautiful
with hoarfrost and crystal snowfalls. But don’t
be fooled– always check the thermometer before
heading outside!

Munsinger Gardens
Along The Mississippi River
Situated below the Clemens Gardens and along the Mississippi
River, these distinctive gardens lie under towering hemlock and pine
trees. As a result, many of the garden beds are in the shade, making
them astounding in their abundance of color and incredible variety
of flowers. Included in the park are a large peacock cage, lovely
wedding pavilion, wooden gazebo, and of course, the fabulous
Mississippi River.
Clemens Gardens
A Place For All Seasons
Six gardens make up Clemens Gardens: Virginia Clemens Rose
Garden, Rest Area Garden, Formal Garden, White Garden, Perennial
Garden and the Treillage Garden. The six gardens draw 2,000 to
3,000 people a day during the summer, from all over the world. So,
whether you’re a weekend gardener or professional horticulturist,
visit soon and find the flavor of European gardens right here in
Central Minnesota!
Granite Country Attractions:
Once known as the “Nitty Gritty Granite City”, St. Cloud used the above headline for a 1921 advertising campaign. When
granite deposits were found along area rivers and in land nearby, the granite industry began to develop. Granite was
everywhere and even today, as you drive through St. Cloud and Central Minnesota, you’ll find buildings, houses, churches,
monuments and public artwork made of granite of all kinds. One of the largest granite companies in the world is in
nearby Cold Spring, and the Minnesota Correctional Facility was built on the site of the first granite quarry in St. Cloud.
At one time the area claimed 19 granite companies, and the granite industry provided thousands of jobs throughout the
mid-1800s to present day.
Contact the St. Cloud Area Convention and Visitors Bureau for more information at 1-800-264-2940 or

Truly a local treasure, Quarry Park and Nature Preserve (formerly known as “Hundred Acres Quarry”) is the largest park
in the
Stearns Park
County Parks System. The 643-acre park is a fascinating look at the early granite industry in the Central
Quarry
Lakes area, and it is a haven for those who love the outdoors. Natural features include scenic woodlands, open
prairie, wetlands, and unquarried bedrock areas, with many trails winding throughout the park. Plant life includes
everything from oaks and aspens to yellow ladyslippers, Indian paintbrush and prickly pear cactus. Man-made
features include sizeable hills composed of quarried rock remnants (grout piles) and 30 granite quarries, most of
which are now filled with water and form picturesque rock-fringed ponds – which are surprisingly clear and deep.
Hills afford spectacular views of the landscape and a new observation deck provides a unique perspective.
Vehicle parking permits can be purchased at the contact station or from the Stearns County Parks Department
(320-255-6172). Picnic, swim, hike, fish, bike or cross-country ski — Quarry Park will provide you hours of
enjoyment any time of year!
Central Minnesotans know how
to have fun all year long. You’re
welcome to join us on the links,

field of play suits your style. You’ll

Keeping
the city
safe.
Central Minnesota
Located one hour northwest of the Twin Cities, and
one hour south of the northern lakes and forests of
the state, St. Cloud is central to both tourism and
commerce. The area comprises several communities:
St. Cloud, Waite Park, Sartell, St. Joseph and Sauk
Rapids, and three counties: Stearns, Sherburne and
Benton. The region has experienced extraordinary
growth in the past decade and, in fact, remains the
most rapidly growing metropolitan area in the state.
Manufacturing, retail and service industries are the
commercial backbone of the region, equally supported
by the extensive, highly productive farming and dairy
endeavors.
A safe community
You’ll find safe neighborhoods, easy access to
recreation, excellent health care and abundant cultural
and educational opportunities in the region. Rolling
farmlands, sparkling lakes, peaceful woodlands and
many nearby state parks make the area an ideal place
in which to reside. And, don’t forget, a river runs
through it. The mighty Mississippi River is a constant,
scenic presence in the region.
St. Cloud residents place a prime emphasis on family.
Combined with a strong work ethic in the community,
area residents have placed a high value on quality child
care. As a result, a variety of options exist to meet
the diverse needs of the area’s expanding population.

We are redefining our place in society by taking
control of how we live, work and play. Here are some
opportunities available for adults age 55+ in the St.

Welcome to the Lake Wobegon Trail, the longest paved
bike trail in America! The trail, a 61-mile-long, 10-footwide, bituminous-surfaced hiking and biking pathway, passes
through the picturesque towns and lush countryside of
Central Minnesota. Named for the imaginary town created by
storyteller Garrison Keillor, the former rail corridor passes by
friendly cafes, antique shops, an amazing zoo, the world-famous
St. John’s Abbey, two top-notch colleges and even a welcoming
coffee shop or two. Bring your bike or walking shoes, and join
us for fun on the Trail!

The lakes and rivers of Central Minnesota are some of
the most beautiful in the region. From quiet ponds to the
Mighty Mississippi River, you’ll find a variety of things
to do on and next to the water. Splash with your kids at
a warm sandy beach; paddle down a pristine river in your
kayak or canoe; cast your line into a sparkling stream or
lake; take a float trip in a shiny tube; cruise a chain of lakes
on a pontoon or sit quietly on the shore and watch one
of our gorgeous sunsets – these are the rich experiences
available to those who take the time to enjoy our stunning Central Minnesota Lakes and Rivers.
