Fort Snelling Unorganized Territory

Fort Snelling Unorganized Territory straddles the Minnesota River valley in Minnesota, and its position near the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers has long given the area strategic importance. Much of this territory is occupied by Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, placing one of the Upper Midwest’s principal air hubs beside major river corridors. Historic Fort Snelling, established in 1820, recalls the site’s early role in U.S. military expansion and in the region’s fur-trade era. Fort Snelling State Park preserves wooded ground and trails near the rivers. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Minnesota’s Twin Cities region.
