Welcome to Lanesboro
"Welcome to Lanesboro" sign on Fillmore County Roads 8 and 21, shortly before the road takes the plunge into the historic town of Lanesboro, Minnesota.
Lanesboro lies on the South Branch of the Root River in the cave-filled karst topography of Fillmore County in southeastern Minnesota. The region is the part of Minnesota that the most recent glaciations did not reach, leaving it with geologic features that aren't found anywhere else in the state and the name, "the Driftless Area." The scenery in this unique area is spectacular.
Lanesboro, named after one of its founders, F. A. Lane, was platted in 1868 in a beautiful bluff-lined area in the Root River Valley. The town and the area around it were settled mainly by Norwegian immigrants who left their mark all over Fillmore County.
