Monticello Township

Few communities in central Minnesota have a history as closely tied to the Mississippi River as Monticello Township. In Wright County, this largely rural township lies beside the Monticello area, where farms, local roads and wooded river-country terrain set a markedly different rhythm from the Twin Cities. The Mississippi has long shaped settlement and transport across this part of the state and remains the region’s principal geographic reference point. On its banks, the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant began commercial operation in 1971, giving the township a nationally significant piece of energy infrastructure.
