History

It is located on a set of rapids on the Mississippi River near its confluence with the Sauk River (Minnesota) River.

Sauk Rapids was originally little more than a forest of oak, maple and basswood trees along the Mississippi River until the first home was constructed there in 1851, a large mansion named Lynden Terrace erected by W.H. Soon a general store was built, then a hotel, and a large jail. Soon other settlers followed and the town was named Sauk Rapids after the rapids just below the Sauk River's mouth on the Mississippi. The event was a great setback for the city, and though it has rebuilt since then it never regained its former prominence in state-wide affairs. In 1917 the courthouse burned down.
