Hinckley Township

Built around the railroad settlement of Hinckley and surrounding farmsteads, Hinckley Township developed into a rural Pine County community in east-central Minnesota. It lies among woods, fields and wetlands within the St. Croix River watershed, while the city of Hinckley supplies local services and an Interstate 35 connection. The area is closely associated with the Great Hinckley Fire of 1894, one of Minnesota’s most devastating disasters; its story is preserved at the Hinckley Fire Museum. Nearby Banning State Park follows the Kettle River through sandstone country, adding a recognised outdoor destination to the wider area.
