The History of the Village of Minster
The community retains a rich heritage from the early settlers,
a band of German immigrants. First settled in 1832, by Francis
Joseph Stallo and six other men acting as agents for a group
of ninety-seven young German settlers, the Village of Minster
today has a population slightly exceeding 2,794 persons.
These early settlers bought the 640 acres for $800.00 in
silver. Trees were gradually felled, streets laid out, and
the site was divided into 144 lots, which made up the village
of Stallostown. In July of 1833 Stallo died suddenly, and
three years later the town was renamed Minster.
