Saint Peter

St. Peter sits on the Minnesota River in south-central Minnesota, United States, where the river valley meets the cultivated plains of the state’s interior. This small city is closely associated with Gustavus Adolphus College, a Lutheran liberal-arts institution founded in 1862 whose campus has long shaped local life. Just north of town, the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux was signed in 1851 between the United States and Dakota leaders, an agreement that led to the cession of extensive Dakota lands in Minnesota. St. Peter’s river setting and college presence give it a distinct role in the Minnesota River Valley. See how St. Peter fits within the wider Minnesota River Valley by browsing webcams nearby.
