Green Isle Minnesota Community Guide

Green Isle Minnesota sign Location of Green Isle, Minnesota

 
The City of Green Isle is a "Premier City on the Move" within Sibley County. With one of the newest and most advanced water and wastewater systems in the area, the City of Green Isle has worked diligently to ensure that our water and wastewater services are second to none. The City of Green Isle has been experiencing a great deal of growth with housing developments on all four corners of the city. Whatever your preference for housing may be, Green Isle offers it, from single family Custom homes, in any style or size, to single level twin and quad homes for the individual that doesn't want the upkeep of a large yard or a lot of steps to shovel. Growth in Green Isle makes for a very exciting time for the city and the residents that live here. The amount of growth, as well as the commitment from the city to provide as many services as possible in such a small community, is what led the city to consider the opening of a Charter School, which opened in the fall of 2005. Green Isle is a safe and clean community with a rural style of living that is second to none. The city combines many essential functions and services with the city of Arlington. Public School transportation, police protection provided by the Sibley County Sheriff's Department, plus Water and Waste water services are among the services provided. This type of relationship has proven to be very cost effective.

History:  

GREEN ISLE Township, settled in 1857, and organized May 11, 1858, received its name, referring to Ireland, "the Emerald Isle," by suggestion of Christopher Dolan, an Irish immigrant. The city of this name, in the adjacent section 18 of Washington, was platted in August 1881 and incorporated as a village on December 8, 1883. It had a station of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad and has had a post office since 1866. Lake Erin, next eastward from this village, testifies similarly to the loyal spirit of its settlers from Ireland.
