Minnesota is a state full of (sometimes) hard to pronounce names and cities. Here are a few of my favorite town names in this great state a little information about each of them!

Fruitville - Located in Benton County as part of the Mayhew Lake Township. It's just about 13 miles from St. Cloud. There are four communities that are also named "Fruitville" and they are located in Florida, Missouri and two in Pennsylvania.

Kiester - Located in southern Minnesota, with a population of 473. Popular for a Preparation H TV commercial that was filmed there in 2016.

Dilworth - Located in Clay County (North West Minnesota) and has a population of about 4,397. Dilworth was founded in 1883 when the Northern Pacific Railroad was extended to that point.
