History:  

LORETTO, a Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad (Soo Line) village in section 6, Medina, founded in 1886 and incorporated on March 20, 1940, was named from a Catholic mission for refugees of the Huron Indians near Quebec, Canada, called Lorette, founded and named in 1673, and from the village of Loretto, Ky., where a society of Catholic "Sisters of Loretto at the Foot of the Cross" was founded in 1812. Many schools are conducted by members of this society in the central and southern United States. The original source of the name is Loreto, a small town in Italy, which has a noted shrine of pilgrimage (Catholic Encyclopedia, vol. 9, 1910, pp. 360-61; vol. 13, 1912, pp. 454-56). The city has had a post office since 1887.
