History

Pierz was named for Father Francis Xavier Pierz (Slovene: Franc Pirc), a Slovenian Roman Catholic priest who came to Minnesota in the early 1850s as a missionary to the native Ojibwe people. The town was incorporated on January 12, 1892, under the name Rich Prairie, but on August 15, 1894, the residents voted to change the name to Pierz in F. X. Pierz’s honor.
