BRUNO Township, organized May 11, 1903, and the city in
section 19 were named in honor of an early hotel owner there. The township
was formerly named Mansfield, but the name was changed as another township
in the state already had that name. The city was incorporated as a village
on August 29, 1903; the original townsite in section 19 was owned and platted
by Fitzhugh Burns. The Eastern Railway Company of Minnesota station was
known as Mansfield Station in 1887; the post office began in 1896. Because
many of the early settlers were from Czechoslovakia, the city may also have
been named for Brno, a village in the Czech Republic.
