History

Forreston was platted in 1854, and named for the forests near the original town site.

Brought on by the town’s predominant population of German-ancestry, the annual “Sauerkraut Days” was a popular free-food festival held in the city limits of Forreston. Sauerkraut Days has recently been started up again, taking place in August with food and a car show.
