About Dundas, MN

Dundas was platted in 1857 by the Archibalds: Brothers John Sidney and Edward T., along with their cousin George Archibald named it after their home Dundas County, Ontario, Canada. The brothers built mills on both sides of the Cannon River. The ruins of The Archibald Mill a flour mill can still be seen today on the west bank of the Cannon River. The milling industry contributed greatly to Dundas' 19th-century success, and at one point the mills in Dundas were considered among the best in the world. The city's original central business district was located on Second Street, and by 1866 it included two general stores, a library, hotel, shoe store, restaurant, meeting hall and saloon.
