History

Zumbrota was claimed as a town in 1856 by Joseph Bailey and D.B. Goddard. The name Zumbrota appears to have resulted from a corruption of the French name for the local Zumbro River, Rivière des Embarras (Obstruction River), coupled with the Dakota toŋ (village).[7][8]

Zumbrota is home to the Zumbrota Covered Bridge, the last functioning covered bridge in the state of Minnesota. The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[9]

The Zumbrota Public Library was the first tax-supported library in Minnesota.[10]

The city of Zumbrota celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2006.
