History

A post office called Finland has been in operation since 1915, and a cooperative general store was established in 1913, which is Minnesota’s longest continuously operated store. The name of the town comes from the fact that a large portion of the early settlers were Finns.

The visitor center is the former home of forest ranger and longtime Finland resident O. M. Eckbeck, who built it in 1927.

The Lutheran church was struck by lightning on July 6, 2013, burning down as a result.
