LITTLE FALLS is the county seat of Morrison County near the geographic center of the state. Established in 1848, Little Falls is one of the oldest cities in Minnesota. Platted in 1855 it was incorporated as a village February 25, 1879, and as a city in July 1890. James Fergus is considered the founder of the village, living there until he moved to Fergus Falls and began that city. The post office opened in 1852 while it was still part of Benton County. Little Falls is the location of the boyhood home of Charles Lindbergh. Just across from the home is Charles A. Lindbergh State Park, named after Lindbergh's father, prominent Minnesota lawyer and U.S. Congressman. The town was named after falls that were located on the Mississippi River, which travels through the town. "Kakabikansing," the Ojibwe name of Little Falls, means "the place of the little squarely cut-off rock." The St. Francis Convent and Campus is located in Little Falls, founded by the Roman Catholic order of Franciscans in 1891. A premium quality blue pen signed $10 with 25 large notes reported.
