~ Townships ~
Goodhue County consists of
twenty-three townships, all of which are practically the
same in area and name as when first constituted in 1858.
They are: Welch, Burnside, Wacoota, Stanton, Cannon
Falls, Vasa, Featherstone, Bay Creek, Florence, Central
Point, Warsaw, Leon, Belle Creek, Goodhue, Belvidere,
Holden, Wanamingo, Minneola, Zumbrota, Kenyon, Cherry
Grove, Roscoe and Pine Island. Red Wing formerly had a
township organization. Previous to 1858 precincts had
been established, but townships were not laid out as
regularly organized political divisions until that year,
when, under a new ad passed by the legislature, Martin
S. Chandler. William P. Tanner and Jesse McIntire, the
three gentlemen selected, defined and named the
townships in Goodhue County as follow. Where no note is
made of subsequent changes, the township at present
remains as at that time constituted.
