About Cologne, MN

Cologne was platted in 1880, and incorporated in 1881. The community was named for Cologne, Germany. In 1939, the town of Cologne was preserved on film in the amateur short subject Cologne: From the Diary of Ray and Esther , which chronicles aspects of life in the German-American community prior to the American engagement in World War II. The film was named to the National Film Registry in 2001, and is one of only a half-dozen amateur works to be included on the list. In March 2015 the city of Cologne, Minnesota hired Jesse Dickson as their city administrator.
