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 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 faith-based 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.

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 historic lively tradition slowly died away as the railroads expanded their lines. Mayhew Creek Park Trail is the most recently completed trail in the city. It is located in Mayhew Creek Park north of the high school and is 1.1 miles long. There are two loops, one going around the sledding hill and one around the perimeter of the park. These are crushed aggregate at this time but may be paved in the future. Prairie Lane Trail and Eastern Star Trail are paved trails that can be used jointly by crossing 18th Street North. Prairie Lane trail winds among four storm water-holding ponds and is beautifully landscaped and has benches and appropriate lighting. Across 18th Street North. The Eastern Star Trail is also paved and winds through a complex wetland that is very unique. The trail ends at Eastern Star 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.

Foley CITY OF
120th AVENUE 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 courtesy of the Benton County Historical Society and Robert Raupp.

HISTORY OF
Foley
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 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. 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.

Rice Welcome to Rice! A past with pride, a future with promise. Rice is growing. Each year, the city welcomes many new households. Rice is located on Highway 10 between Little Falls and St. Cloud with easy access to either. Rice offers plenty of beautiful countryside, a view of the Mississippi River and scenic parks. We have several community festivals and events that spread throughout the year. Summerfest, Rice Family Fun Day and the Old Creamery Arts and Crafts Show are only but a few fun family-filled events. The Brian Skroch city’s newest event is the Movie in the Park, Mayor hosted by the Rice Recreation Department. Despite weather challenges, the first movie night was a great success. The coronavirus pandemic and all the related closures has made us even more grateful to the many clubs that support our town: Rice Lions Club, Rice Area Sportsmen’s Club, Rice Women of Today, Rice Area Chamber of Commerce, American Legion Post 473, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are all supporters of our community. Our voluntary fire department consists of 20 firefighters, and our police department employs two fulltime and two part-time officers. With the changing times, we are happy to welcome two new police officers and four new firefighters to our city within the last year. They hope to support the community with open houses, water fights, CPR classes, National Night Out, turkey bingo, the bike rodeo, the PTA picnic and the Police Activities League. Both the fire and police departments are involved with families in Rice. The Rice Recreation Department continues to adapt to the changing times by offering a variety of programs for kids of all ages. They are adjusting and working to improve the spaces for activities for all ages. We have two ball fields, soccer fields, a gaga ball area, playgrounds and ice rinks. The long-running businesses are also growing and adding opportunities for employment. Our restaurants from fast food to sit down dining and a new ice cream shop (coming soon) are back up and open. We have a wonderful elementary school, shops and businesses to serve a variety of needs. High-speed internet is available locally. Rice is a community that cares. We take pride in our city and surrounding area. Come check us out. Mayor Brian Skroch, with City Clerk Julie Fandel

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.

Wagon of Lumber 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 Lynden 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 then finally 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 more so, 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 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.
