When the Winona and St Peter Railroad initiated service in October 1864, it brought new residents and business opportunities further spurring growth and expansion.

In 1863, Dr. William W. Mayo arrived as the examining surgeon for Union draftees in the Civil War.

Mayo Clinic is today among the largest and most well-respected medical facilities in the world and it has been consistently ranked No. 1 Best hospital in the United States by U.S. News & World Report.
