Originally an Objibwe territory, Sand Prairie, saw its first settlers of European origin in the autumn of 1844. [1] Under a mandate of the United States government and after the Objibwe ceded their land in the Treaty of 1837 [2], the Territory of Minnesota was established in 1849. Benton County became one of nine organized counties. The Village of Rice was named after Massachusetts born [3] hotelier and mill owner, George T. Rice. Rice migrated to the Village of Langola [4] in 1864 to develop the area. In 1877, the Northern Pacific Railroad began passing through the Rice Railroad Station. As a direct result of the railroad traffic, George T. Rice hired F.W. Earl to build the Luther hotel. The Village of Rice became officially incorporated within Benton County, on July 18, 1890, as a farming community. [5]
