Built around nineteenth-century farmsteads, Kalmar Township grew into a rural community in western Olmsted County. It lies in southeastern Minnesota’s rolling farm country, where cultivated fields, shelterbelts and scattered homesteads shape the rural surroundings of Rochester. The township takes its name from Kalmar, Sweden, recalling the Scandinavian roots found across many Minnesota communities. Rather than an urban centre, it remains a working agricultural district defined by local roads and broad horizons. Its setting connects it to the wider Rochester area while preserving a distinctly rural character.
