About Le Sueur, MN

Le Sueur was named its current name in 1853 by the community there at the time after the explorer Pierre-Charles Le Sueur who explored this area from 1683 to 1722. Before this, the area was known by the French as Prairie La Fleche, or "prairie the arrow". It is believed this place name originates from a translation of the native Dakota name for the area, Wahinoge, or " flint quarry", a material used to make arrowheads. In 1852, the first claim on the area that is now the city of Le Sueur was made by George W. Thompson.
