Nininger Township

Nininger Township straddles the transition from the Mississippi River valley to the rolling uplands of southeastern Minnesota, a setting that has tied this Dakota County community to both riverland and agricultural country. Its name recalls Nininger, the ambitious river town founded here in 1856 by politician and writer Ignatius Donnelly. The settlement briefly promoted itself as a future commercial centre before nearby Hastings and rail connections shifted the region’s growth elsewhere. Open farmland, wooded river bluffs and routes toward the Twin Cities give the area a metropolitan-edge character.
