About Lake Crystal, Minnesota

Lake Crystal is a Blue Earth County city whose population reached 2,539 in the 2020 census. Platted beside a new railroad station in 1869, the community developed amid nearby lakes and an agricultural economy long associated with wheat and grain handling.

  • Railroad OriginsThe Valley Railroad reached the area in 1868, and William Riley Robinson and Lucius O. Hunt platted Lake Crystal the following year.
  • Named for the LakeGeneral Judson W. Bishop named the town after Crystal Lake, which John C. Fremont and J. N. Nicollet had named during their 1838-39 explorations.
  • Early IncorporationLake Crystal incorporated on February 24, 1870, and its first newspaper, The People's Journal, began publication the next month.
  • Wheat EraFrom 1870 to 1895, local farmers devoted nearly all cropland to wheat; a grasshopper invasion devastated crops from 1873 until June 1877.
  • Four Nearby LakesCrystal, Lily, Mills, and Loon lakes lie near the city; Crystal Lake is the largest and occupies the town's center.
