Walters

The low, gently rolling agricultural plain around Walters has shaped both the settlement’s compact form and its farming-based local economy. This small Faribault County community stands in southern Minnesota near the Iowa state line, amid fields typical of the glaciated prairie country rather than the state’s northern lake districts. Walters was platted in 1899 and named for William Walters, a railroad official, recalling the rail era that helped establish many towns across this part of the Midwest. Its scale provides a useful reference point for the working rural landscape between Minnesota and Iowa.
