Built around a railroad stop, Byron grew into a small southeastern Minnesota city on the agricultural plain west of Rochester. The community lies in the Zumbro River watershed, where cultivated fields and gently rolling ground shape the surroundings beyond its residential streets. Founded in 1864 and named for the English poet Lord Byron, it retains the practical scale of a railroad-era settlement while remaining linked to Rochester by U.S. Highway 14. Nearby Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo provide a local destination centred on regional wildlife.
