Minnesota Place Names: A Geographical Encyclopedia

The classic reference of place-name information on the state's cities, towns, townships, lakes, and streams. For this revised edition, the staff of the Minnesota Historical Society combed recent literature and databases to update entries and add new names. The book captures much of the lost lore of familiar places and of towns that have disappeared -- and of the people who made the state what it is today.Warren Upham is the author of 'Minnesota Place Names: A Geographical Encyclopedia', published 2001 under ISBN 9780873513968 and ISBN 0873513967.
