Minnesota History
FOUNDER OF TOWNS


Establishing towns and town.
sites was once a great business in
Minnesota. II occupied the time
and attention Of many men for a
good half century. The motiva-
ton OF this effort was the usual
one OF profit from the sale Of town
lots. These profits and activities
were fabulous In the early days
OF the territory. The hard times
Of 1887 brought townsite promo
ton To a minimum. Following the
civil War the business again re.
vived.
The principal promoters Of the
early days were the pioneers who
lived near places where town
might be expected TO thrive. A.
mong such met was Joseph r.
Brown who established many
communities. some OF which
thrived and others died.
In later years the railroads
dominated the townsite business
One OF the most noted OF town
founders in Minnesota was T. A.
Holmes. His life showed the en-.
ergy and versatility OF the from
tier founders. Born In Pennsyl.
vania he was the founder oi
