Terrebonne

Few communities in northwestern Minnesota have a history as closely tied to the agricultural settlement of the Red River Valley as Terrebonne. This small Polk County community stands amid the valley’s broad, level farmland, near the Red Lake River as it flows west toward the Red River of the North. Its French name means “good earth,” a fitting reference to the productive soils that made farming central to this part of Minnesota. Terrebonne lies on U.S. Highway 2, where open fields and expansive skies define the setting more than dense development. The wider valley occupies the former bed of glacial Lake Agassiz, which left deep, fertile sediments across northwestern Minnesota.
