A Rich History and Exciting Future!
Welcome to Faribault, a dynamic, growing community of over 24,000
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 contains 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.
Faribault, Minnesota – Welcome to the Community! 5
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 the birthplace of
the world famous "Tilt-A-Whirl", 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. 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, year-round. Blue lights located at intersections are turned on when downtown snowplowing and hauling efforts begin. If you have questions, please call 333-0361. 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.
